Focusing on the Fowler-Nordheim field emission (FNFE) from semiconductors and their nanostructures, this monograph explores a variety of materials, including quantum confined and non-linear optical substances. It examines FNFE in opto-electronic materials under light and intense electric fields, utilizing newly formulated electron dispersion laws. The text emphasizes the significance of band gap measurements in external fields and presents 200 open research problems, making it a valuable resource for Ph.D. students and researchers, as well as a foundation for graduate courses.

The presence of intense electric field and the light waves change the band structure of optoelectronic semiconductors in fundamental ways, which have also been incorporated in the study of the EEM in quantized structures of optoelectronic compounds that control the studies of the quantum effect devices under strong fields.

The book delves into the thermoelectric power of nanostructured materials subjected to strong magnetic fields, focusing on quantum confinement and nonlinear optical properties. It explores various materials, including III-V and II-VI compounds, n-GaP, n-Ge, Te, graphite, and PtSb. By providing a comprehensive analysis, it aims to deepen the understanding of thermoelectric phenomena in these advanced materials, highlighting their potential applications in energy conversion and electronic devices.

Focusing on the Debye Screening Length (DSL) in semiconductors and nanostructures, this monograph explores various materials, including non-linear optical and III-V compounds, under strong light and electric fields.
