Characterization of semiconductor heterostructures and nanostructures.

Characterization of Semiconductor Heterostructures and Nanostructures is structured so that each chapter is devoted to a specific characterization technique used in the understanding of the properties (structural, physical, chemical, electrical etc.) of semiconductor quantum wells and superlattices....
