| Summary |
This book focuses on the theory of phonon interactions in nanostructures with particular emphasis on modern heterostructure devices. Tractable models of confined phonons and their application to calculating properties and phenomena of semiconductor heterostructures are described. The book is aimed at researchers, graduate students and undergraduates in physics and engineering |
