Nanostructures : theory and modeling /

It presents in a unified way the theoretical concepts, the more recent semiempirical and ab initio methods, and their application to experiments. The topics include quantum confinement, dielectric and optical properties, non-radiative processes, defects and impurities, and quantum transport."--...
