Physics of Semiconductor Devices
by Massimo RudanThis book describes the basic physics of semiconductors, including the hierarchy of transport models, and connects the theory with the functioning of actual semiconductor devices. Details are worked out carefully and derived from the basic physics, while keeping the internal coherence of the concepts and explaining various levels of approximation. Examples are based on silicon due to its industrial importance. Several chapters are included that provide the reader with the quantum-mechanical concepts necessary for understanding the transport properties of crystals. The behavior of crystals incorporating a position-dependent impurity distribution is described, and the different hierarchical transport models for semiconductor devices are derived (from the Boltzmann transport equation to the hydrodynamic and drift-diffusion models). The transport models are then applied to a detailed description of the main semiconductor-device architectures (bipolar, MOS). The final chapters are devoted to the description of some basic fabrication steps, and to measuring methods for the semiconductor-device parameters.

This second edition features new equation-oriented material and extensive data sets drawing upon current information from experts in their fields. Problems to challenge the reader and extend discussion are presented on three timely issues: * National Security: Weapons, Offense, Defense, Verification, Nuclear Proliferation, Terrorism * Environment: Air/Water, Nuclear, Climate Change, EM Fields/Epidemiology * Energy: Current Energy Situation, Buildings, Solar Buildings, Renewable Energy, Enhanced End-Use Efficiency, Transportation, Economics Praise for the first edition: "This insight is needed in Congress and the Executive Branch. Hafemeister, a former Congressional fellow with wide Washington experience, has written a book for physicists, chemists and engineers who want to learn science and policy on weapons, energy, and the environment. Scientists who want to make a difference will want this book. " Richard Scribner, first Director, Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow Program, AAAS "Hafemeister shows how much one can understand about nuclear weapons and missile issues through simple back-of-the-envelope calculations. He also provides compact explanations of the partially successful attempts that have been made over the past 60 years to control these weapons of mass destruction. Hopefully, Physics of Societal Issues will help interest a new generation of physicists in continuing this work. " Frank von Hippel, Professor, Princeton, former Assistant Director, National Security, White House, OSTP "Energy policy must be quantitative. People who don't calculate economic tradeoffs often champion simplistic hardware. 'The solution is more. . . nuclear power, or electric cars, or photovoltaics, etc. ' Some simple physics will show that the true solution matches supply and demand as an 'integrated resource plan. ' Physics of Societal Issues is a good place to begin this journey. " Arthur Rosenfeld, former California Energy Commissioner, Professor-emeritus, U. of California-Berkeley

Physics of the Terrestrial Environment, Subtle Matter and Height of the Atmosphere: Conceptions of the Atmosphere and the Nature of Air in the Age of Enlightenment
by Eric ChassefiereThe discovery, in the middle of the 17th century, of both the weight of air and the law governing its elasticity transformed the status of the atmosphere from that of a purely mathematical object to that of a complex and highly variable physical system.In the context of rapidly intensifying experimentation and observation, the nature of the atmosphere was therefore the subject of a host of hypotheses, which 18th century scholars tried to reconcile with a coherent physical approach. In particular, this was achieved by the conceptualization of invisible or “subtle” materials, thought to be closely linked to atmospheric stratification.Subtle matter was introduced, largely to reconcile contradictory results concerning the estimation of the height of the atmosphere. These estimations were based on different methods, mainly using the observation of meteors and the refracted and reflected light of stars.Taking as its common thread the question of the height of the atmosphere, which was omnipresent in the texts at the time, this book traces the history of the discovery of the atmosphere and the many questions it generated.

Warum funktioniert es besser, eine Konstruktion zugdominant statt biegedominant zu gestalten? Wie verteilt man die Steifigkeiten am besten, um einen optimalen Kraftfluss zu erhalten? Was passiert an Stellen, an denen man eine Strömung umlenkt und wie kann man das mit geringsten Verlusten steuern?Die Autoren führen Sie durch die 8 Rezepte und erklären Ihnen, worauf Sie achten müssen und warum es funktioniert. Anhand konkreter Beispiele aus dem Konstruktionsalltag werden die Rezepte ausprobiert und viele Varianten durchgetestet. Bei diesem spielerischen Ausprobieren von verschiedenen Szenarien schauen Sie den Autoren über die Schulter und können erleben, wie das Verständnis um die physikalische Wirkung die Evolution des Designs steuert. Alle Beispiele wurden mit ANSYS Discovery Live aufbereitet und stehen zum Download bereit, sodass Sie selbst die Rezepte ausprobieren und auf Ihre Anwendungen übertragen können.
