"Professor Chennupati Jagadish, Department of Electronic Materials Engineering, Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra: "After skimming through the material of all of the five rough draft chapters of the book that I received, I would conclude that the book is well organized and I would also say well written. The coverage is complete to the point of almost being encyclopedic. The material is appropriate for the level of incoming graduate students with specialty in solid state physics, optoelectronic, and nanostructure materials." W.D. Brown, Ph.D., P.E. Associate Dean for Research, University of Arkansas: "Omar's efforts are focused on producing a very much needed textbook. It is obvious to me from his table of contents that he plans to cover all the pertinent subjects in a field that is rapidly changing and of utmost importance in terms of the need to education the next generation of scientists and engineers."More details
