Chandrika: Building Blocks of Electrons: A Historical Perspective on Superlattice Design, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Building Blocks of Electrons: A Historical Perspective on Superlattice Design" dives into the fascinating world of superlattices, engineered materials with tailored properties. This book likely explores the concept from a historical viewpoint, tracing the development of superlattices from their theoretical foundations to their practical applications.
Imagine stacking ultra-thin layers of different materials, like a microscopic sandwich. By carefully choosing these materials and their thicknesses, scientists can create a new material with properties not found in nature. The book might delve into how these "building blocks" of electrons, meaning the way electrons behave within the material, are manipulated through superlattice design.
Expect to learn about the pioneering scientists who laid the groundwork for superlattices, the challenges and triumphs faced in their development, and how this technology has revolutionized various fields. From advances in electronics and optoelectronics to exploring the exotic properties of quantum materials, "Building Blocks of Electrons" offers a historical journey into the world of superlattice design.
