The area of high field transport in semiconductors has been of interest since the early studies of dielectric breakdown in various materials. It really emerged

This book originated out of a desire to provide students with an instrument which might lead them from knowledge of elementary classical and quantum physics to

This book brings together concepts from semiconductor physics, nonlinear-dynamics and chaos to examine semiconductor transport phenomena.

This review volume is based primarily on the balance equation approach developed since 1984. It provides a simple and analytical description about hot electron

Advances in semiconductor technology have made possible the fabrication of structures whose dimensions are much smaller than the mean free path of an electron.
