![]() ![]() Dr Sch¨oll is the author of the book Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions in Semiconductors (1987), translated into Russian in 1991, the coauthor of The Physics of Instabilities in Solid State Electron Devices (1992), and has recently edited a monograph on the Theory of Transport Properties of Semiconductor Nanostructures (1998). His research interests include the theory of nonlinear charge transport and current instabilities in semiconductors, in particular, low-dimensional structures nonlinear spatio-temporal dynamics, chaos, and pattern formation and electro-optical nonlinearities. Since 1989 he has been a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. During 1983–1984 he was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Wayne State University Detroit, Michigan, USA. degree and the venia legendi from Aachen University of Technology (RWTH Aachen), Germany, in 19 respectively. He E CKEHARD S CH OLL received his Diplom degree in physics (MSc) from the University of T¨ubingen, Germany, in 1976, his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Southampton, UK, in 1978, and the Dr rer. ¨ was born on 6 February 1951 in Stuttgart, Germany. This book will be of great value to semiconductor physicists and nonlinear scientists alike. State-of-the-art results include chaos control, spatio-temporal chaos, multistability, pattern selection, activator–inhibitor kinetics, and global coupling, linking fundamental issues to electronic-device applications. Later chapters consider important model systems in detail: impact-ionization-induced impurity breakdown, Hall instabilities, superlattices, and low-dimensional structures. The initial chapters lay a general framework for the theoretical description of nonlinear self-organized spatio-temporal patterns, such as current filaments, field domains, and fronts, and for analysis of their stability. This unified approach is used to consider important electronic transport instabilities. In doing so it bridges the gap between two well-established fields: the theory of dynamic systems, and nonlinear charge transport in semiconductors. Nonlinear Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Chaos in Semiconductors deals with complex nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, and chaotic behavior in such systems. Nonlinear Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Chaos in Semiconductors Nonlinear transport phenomena are an increasingly important aspect of modern semiconductor research. ![]()
