Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

s A revision of the third edition, 1985, which is listed in BCL3. It is an established textbook for upper-class or grad students majoring in physics/electronics. It has added sections on h- i-p-i superlattices, quantum well structures, and the effects of deep- level impurities upon transport. Libraries will regret that it is not available in hard covers.
