From the reviews:
"The rapid pace of discovery in semiconductor physics makes it difficult to initiate neophytes to the field . . . With Semiconductor Optics and Transport Phenomena, Wilfried Schäfer and Martin Wegener have come to the rescue . . . The authors are important figures in semiconductor optics. Schäfer has made definitive contributions to the theory of interacting electrons and collaborated with experimentalists to explain exciton dynamics under ultrafast optical excitation. Wegener is prominently known for his experimental exploration of the new world of exciton dynamics in the first few femtoseconds of their creation. The collaboration of a theorist and an experimentalist in this book fulfills the authors’ intent to synthesize theory and empiricism. It is delightful to find that, after reading about the Bloch theory, one can understand the four-wave mixing experiment and measurements of the dephasing time . . . The text covers basic electron properties, optics, and transport. The optics part provides important paradigms of decoherence and of nonequilibrium physics, both of which are essential to the modern physics of the small . . . I recommend Schäfer and Wegener’s timely and pioneering text for a cohesive presentation of modern semiconductor physics."
PHYSICS TODAY
"The text covers basic electron properties, optics, and transport. … The book also carefully describes such fundamentals as the gauge relation between the p . A and r . E expressions for light-matter interaction. … I recommend Schäfer and Wegener’s timely and pioneering text for a cohesive presentation of modern semiconductor physics." (L. J. Sham, Physics Today, July, 2003)
"The topics covered in the book include a good number of the important theoretical foundations of semiconductor optics and transport phenomena … . If the reader is interested in the theory of optical and transport phenomena, this is an appropriate book." (Mike Gal, ThePhysicist, Vol. 39 (6), 2002)
