On the occasion of World Book Day, the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW Dresden) is pleased to highlight a recent scientific publication by one of its researchers:
The recently published book by Prof. Vladimir Fomin in co-authorship with Prof. Stepan Beril and Dr. Alexander Starchuk presents the results of their research on electron oscillation processes and electron-hole-phonon systems. They provide a theoretical perspective on the physical phenomena in various structures such as planar, cylindrical and spherical systems as well as superlattices. 

The book covers a number of current topics in condensed matter physics and materials science, such as the theory of suspended polarons above a liquid helium film on a polar substrate, the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in multilayer structures, the theory of quantum electron emission from the metal-dielectric structure in strong electric fields.

Various applications of the developed theories to describe optical spectra, electron, hole and exciton states, and transport processes in multilayer and superlattice structures are presented. The book is primarily aimed at researchers and students in the fields of solid state physics, quantum microelectronics and optoelectronics.
