CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
"This book is aimed at providing all of the essential information, both theoretical and computational, in order that the reader can, starting from essentially nothing, understand how the electronic, optical and transport properties of semiconductor heterostructures are calculated. However, perhaps more importantly, starting from this low common denominator, this text is designed to lead the reader through a series of simple theoretical and computational implementations, and slowly build from solid foundations to a level where the reader can begin to initiate theoretical investigations or explanations of their own."--BOOK JACKET.
