The three volumes of this handbook treat the fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology of nitride semiconductors with an extraordinary clarity and depth. They present all the necessary basics of semiconductor and device physics and engineering together with an extensive reference section. The handbook also deals with the properties and processes for thermal, optical (3-, 2-, 1-, 0-dimensional systems), electrical (at low- and high-electric fields, low- and high-magnetic fields for 3- and 2-dimensional systems), magnetism and magnetic properties (in dilute magnetic ion doped compounds) and spin-based device concepts.
