PREFACE
This volume on Advanced Electronic Technologies and Systems based on Low-
Dimensional Quantum Devices closes a three years series of NATO - AS!' s.
The first year was focused on the fundamental properties and applications. The second year
was devoted to Devices Based on Low-Dimensional Semiconductor Structures. The third year is
covering Systems Based on Low-Dimensional Quantum Semiconductor Devices.
The three volumes containing the lectures given at the three successive NATO - ASI's
constitute a complete review on the latest advances in semiconductor Science and Technology
from the methods of fabrication of the quantum structures through the fundamental physics am
basic knowledge of properties and projection of performances to the technology of devices and
systems.
In the first volume: " Fabrication, Properties and Application of Low Dimensional
Semiconductors" are described the practical ways in which quantum structures are produced, the
present status of the technology, difficulties encountered, and advances to be expected. The basic
theory of Quantum Wells, Double Quantum Wells and Superlattices is introduced and the
fundamental aspects of their optical properties are presented. The effect of reduction of
dimensionality on lattice dynamics of quantum structures is also discussed.
In the second volume: " Devices Based on Low Dimensional Structures" the fundamentals
of quantum structures and devices in the two major fields: Electro-Optical Devices and
Pseudomorphic High Eectron Mobility Transistors are extensively discussed.
