Summary

This book deals with the behaviour of artificial structures of semiconductors. The characteristic features of these structures are interfaces between different materials which restrict the motion of the electrons to two, one, or zero dimensions and modify the behaviour of phonons. It includes 15 chapters: electronic properties in semiconductor heterostructures; phonons in low-dimensional systems; theory of electron transport in low-dimensional semiconductor structures; quantum wires and quantum dots; quantum interference in disordered electron systems; theory of the quantum Hall Effect; tunneling in semiconductor resonant structures; Keldysh formalism and the Landauer approach; magneto-optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures; electrons in superlattices; metallic superlattices; phonon emission, absorption, and reflection from a two-dimensional electron gas; quantum adiabatic electron transport in ballistic conductors; experiments on two-dimensional Wigner crystals; artificial semiconductor structures: electronic properties and device applications.
