    Proving direct band gap property of a semiconductor

    Hi, How can I prove direct band gap property of a Transition Metal Dichalcogenide electrically and optically through experimentation? I can use PL measurements to prove this for optical band gap. Is there any other equipment or technique to prove this? I can not use ARPES because channel length...

    Semiconductor Devices for a beginner/non-physics major

    Thanks for the detailed reply SredniVashtar. May be I should start with basic physics first and then move to Modern Physics. I have not covered anything related to Modern Physics yet but hopefully I can get to speed by following suggestions listed in this thread.

    Semiconductor Devices for a beginner/non-physics major

    Thanx for the detailed reply. You have set up a kind of work plan for me and hopefully I will be able to follow it. My goal is to get through the Pierret's book on Semiconductor Fundamentals. Also my background in Physics is very weak. I took college level physics many years ago and until now...

    Semiconductor Devices for a beginner/non-physics major

    I do not have any background knowledge in physics except for some basics about general physics. I will look at the contents. Thanx I took intro physics during my undergrad but that was some time ago and I have almost forgotten the concepts. So should I start with the Modern Physics or go...

    Semiconductor Devices for a beginner/non-physics major

    I have joined a research lab on semiconductor nano devices and have been recommended to study the Robert F. Pierret book "Fundamentals of Semiconductor Devices" but unfortunately I could not understand most of the concepts after reading first three chapters. I am a computer science graduate with...

    PhD in Semiconductor Nano Devices after undergrad in Computer Engineer

    By basic you mean general physics courses like PH101 & PH102? Kindly recommend a textbook or any other resource to start with and then finally deal with the Rebert F. Pierret book on Fundamentals of Semiconductor Devices. Best Regards,

    PhD in Semiconductor Nano Devices after undergrad in Computer Engineer

    Prof says that it will require hardwork but you can do it because a lot of people change their fields during grad studies. I have been reading Semiconductor Device Fundamentals by Robert F. Pierret as recommended by prof but I can not understand a lot of stuff. I get lost in so many...

    PhD in Semiconductor Nano Devices after undergrad in Computer Engineer

    I am getting an opportunity to do PhD in semiconductor devices. The professor is quite active in the field and publishing good research. I have no background in solid state physics. How difficult it could be with a computer science background? Also where should I start once enrolled in a...
