Semiconductor physics has evolved to encompass a wide range of topics, extending beyond the traditional realm of solid-state physics. It delves into the intricate details of nanoscale phenomena, surface and interface interactions, and the behavior of electrons and their quasi-particle holes in the valence bands. This field explores the exchange of energies in diverse forms, the coupling of energetic events across short and long length scales, quantum reversibility linked to macroscale linearity and eventually to nonlinearities, the thermodynamic and statistical implications of fluctuation-dissipation, and other crucial aspects. By integrating traditional solid-state approaches with recent developments of the early 21st century, this text aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of semiconductor physics in its multifaceted manifestations. It uncovers how a deep comprehension of the material's internal workings can yield valuable insights into its applications. The Electroscience series, consisting of four textbooks, culminates in the 4th volume, which offers a comprehensive exploration of nanoscale devices spanning electronic, magnetic, mechanical, and optical domains. The series builds up to this final subject, gradually delving into the underlying semiconductor and solid-state physics foundations.
