Description: Examines principles of semicon- ductor materials and nanostructures. Topics include periodic structures, electron and phonon transport, defects, optical properties, and radiative recombina- tion. Also covers absorption and emission of radiation in nanostructures and nonlinear optics effects. Emphasizes properties of semiconductor superlattic- es, quantum wells, wires, and dots.
