A compact view of band theory and an original treatment of transport theory in covalent semiconductors, developed from the lectures Dr. Aigrain gave as visiting Webster Professor of Electrical Engineering and MIT.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
In the mid to late 1890s, J.J. Thomson and colleagues at Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory conducted experiments on "cathode rays" (a form of radiation produced within evacuated glass vessels subjected to electric fields) -- the results of which some historians later viewed as the "discovery" of the electron. This book is both a biography of the electron and a history of the microphysical world …
"The MIT Press."This study considers the instabilities that result when an electron beam is injected into a plasma. A number of different models of the system are considered, and all instabilities are classified according to whether they are convective instabilities (amplifying waves) or nonconvective (absolute) instabilities. The study also analyzes the instabilities in unbounded beam-plasma s…
