Preface
When the first edition of Basic Semiconductor Physics was published in 2001, there were already many books, review papers and scientific journals dealing with various aspects of semiconductor physics. Since many of them were dealing with special aspects of newly observed phenomena or with very fundamental physics, it was very difficult to understand the advanced physics of semiconductors without the detailed knowledge of semiconductor physics. For this purpose the author published the first edition for the readers who are involved with semiconductor research and development. Basic Semiconductor Physics deals with details of energy band structures, effective mass equation and k · p perturbation, and then describes very important phenomena in semiconductors such as optical, transport, magnetoresistance, and quantum phenomena. Some of my friends wrote to me that the textbook is not only basic but advanced, and that the title of the book does not reflect the contents. However, I am still convinced that the title is appropriate, because the advanced physics of semiconductor may be understood with the knowledge of the fundamental physics. In addition new and advanced phenomena observed in semiconductors at an early time are becoming well-known and thus classified in basic physics. After the publication of the first edition, many typographical errors have been pointed out and the corrected version was published in 2006. The publisher and my friends persuade me to revise the book adding new chapters, keeping the subject at the appropriate level. When I started writing the
