Introductory Quantum Mechanics for Applied Nanotechnology {Wiley, 2015} - Dae Mann Kim [Seduction28]

Worth $135

This textbook covers fundamental quantum mechanics from an application’s perspective, considering optoelectronic devices, biological sensors and molecular imagers as well as solar cells and various kinds of field effect transistors, e.g. nanowire and spin FETs.

The book provides a brief review of classical and statistical mechanics and electromagnetism, and then turns to the quantum treatment of atoms, molecules, and chemical bonds and the topics covered are focused on the multidisciplinary application of nanotechnology.

Aiming at senior undergraduate and graduate students in nanotechnology related areas like physics, materials science, and engineering, the book can be used in dedicated courses at universities and for focused training courses for practitioners, e.g., in the semiconductor industry and related nanotechnology companies.

The author is Professor Dae Mann Kim from the Korea Institute for Advanced Study who has been teaching Quantum Mechanics to engineering, material science and physics students for over 30 years in USA and Asia.


About the Author

Dae Mann Kim is Professor of Computational Sciences, Korea Institute for Advanced Study. A physicist by training (PhD in physics, Yale University) but an engineer by profession, Kim started his teaching career at Rice University before moving to Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology and later to POSTECH (S. Korea). He has over 25 years experience teaching quantum mechanics to senior students from engineering, materials science and physics departments. Collaborating extensively with industrial labs over the years, Kim offered short courses to working engineers at Samsung and LG.

Professor Kim has served as the chair of the curriculum committee of the Korean Nano Technology Research Society. Kim has over 100 publications on the quantum theory of lasers, quantum electronics and micro and nano electronics. He is a Fellow of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology and has also served as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems Video Technology.
