The Leipzig Connection Ebook Reader

The 3rd edition of this successful textbook contains ample material for a comprehensive upper-level undergraduate or beginning graduate course, guiding readers to the point where they can choose a special topic and begin supervised research. The textbook provides a balance between essential aspects of solid-state and semiconductor physics, on the one hand, and the principles of various semiconductor devices and their applications in electronic and photonic devices, on the other. It highlights many practical aspects of semiconductors such as alloys, strain, heterostructures, nanostructures, that are necessary in modern semiconductor research but typically omitted in textbooks. Coverage also includes additional advanced topics, such as Bragg mirrors, resonators, polarized and magnetic semiconductors, nanowires, quantum dots, multi-junction solar cells, thin film transistors, carbon-based nanostructures and transparent conductive oxides. The text derives explicit formulas for many results to support better understanding of the topics. The Physics of Semiconductors requires little or no prior knowledge of solid-state physics and evolved from a highly regarded two-semester course. In the third edition several topics are extended and treated in more depth including surfaces, disordered materials, amorphous semiconductors, polarons, thermopower and noise.

More than 1800 references guide the reader to historic and current literature including original and review papers and books.; December 2015. ISBN: 807.

Tolino has almost everything to be a Kindle competitor, including ereaders, tablets, retail partners across central Europe, and the backing of just about everyone in Germany who is on Amazon's hit list.But this two-year old ebook platform doesn't have a self-pub solution - at least, not yet. There's a report today on that Tolino is going to launch a self-pub portal next month. The announcement is expected to happen on Thursday at the Leipzig Book Fair.Tolino has long sold self-published ebooks, but they had previously accepted them through 3rd-part distributors l. Now Tolino will be dealing directly with authors.The new portal will be run. That firm launched as the ebook distributor Pubbles in 2010, and it's owned by the principle Tolino partners. Authors will be able to upload Word or Epub, and there is a mention of an online editor. Authors will get a free ISBN, and be paid 70% of the retail price for any ebook sold in Tolino's network of competing ebookstores.The link I provided above is not live at this time, but I'm told that it will go live on Wednesday with a page where authors can sign up for email notification on the launch and availability.
