This textbook provides a complete course in

quantum mechanics for students of

semiconductor device physics and electrical

engineering. It provides the necessary

background to quantum theory for those starting

work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures and

is particularly useful for those going on to work

with semiconductors and lasers.

This book was developed from a course the

author has taught for many years with a style and

order of presentation of material specifically

designed for this audience. It introduces the main

concepts of quantum mechanics which are

important in everyday solid-state physics and

electronics. Each topic includes examples which

have been carefully chosen to draw upon relevant

experimental research. It also includes problems

with solutions to test understanding of theory. For

the second edition significant new material has

been added to each chapter, providing updated

connections with relevant experiments and device

concepts. New references and new problems are

included.
