Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions in Semiconductors : Self-Organization Induced by Generation and Recombination Processes /

Semiconductors can exhibit electrical instabilities like current runaway, threshold switching, current filamentation, or oscillations, when they are driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium. This book presents a coherent theoretical des- cription of such cooperative phenomena induced by generation...
