Oxford University Press Semiconductor Nanophotonics Book

Explore the complex world of nanometre sized structures with Semiconductor Nanophotonics, part of the Semiconductor Science and Technology series by Oxford University Press. This technical text examines how semiconductors, insulators, and metals grown through modern technologies or chemical synthesis exhibit unique electronic and optical phenomena. By studying the confinement of electrons and photons, readers gain insight into strong interactions within narrow regions. The content covers essential topics such as inhibited spontaneous emission, thresholdless laser operation, and the Bose-Einstein condensation of exciton-polaritons in microcavities. Additionally, the book details the generation of sub-wavelength radiation via surface plasmon-polaritons at metal-semiconductor interfaces and the creation of photonic band gaps in dielectrics. This volume serves as a specialized resource for those studying electrical engineering and semiconductor science.
