Ferry D.K. Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction for Device Physicists and Electrical Engineers

2nd Edition. — IOP Publishing Ltd, 2001.— 355 p. — ISBN: 0750307250This textbook provides a complete course in quantum mechanics for students of semiconductor device physics and electrical engineering. It provides the necessary background to quantum theory for those starting work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures and is particularly useful for those going on to work with semiconductors and lasers.
This book was developed from a course the author has taught for many years with a style and order of presentation of material specifically designed for this audience. It introduces the main concepts of quantum mechanics which are important in everyday solid-state physics and electronics. Each topic includes examples which have been carefully chosen to draw upon relevant experimental research. It also includes problems with solutions to test understanding of theory. For the second edition significant new material has been added to each chapter, providing updated connections with relevant experiments and device concepts. New references and new problems are included.Waves and particles
The Schrödinger equation
Tunnelling
The harmonic oscillator
Basis functions, operators, and quantum dynamics
Stationary perturbation theory
Time-dependent perturbation theory
Motion in centrally symmetric potentials
Electrons and anti-symmetry
Solutions to selected problems
