Monograph
• A detailed book-length study of a specialized
topic
• A specialist book on a single subject written by
one author
Monograph – key features
• What you submit: A research-report with a comprehensive
record of pretty much the total research you did during your
MS/PhD time. It can include all findings of your study right
from the start until the end.
• Authorship: You are the only author.
• Language: The monograph might be written in the national
language. You may have an option to choose between your
national language(s) or English.
• Lengths: It varies. We’ve seen anything between 100 pages (a
bit on the short end) and up to 1,500 pages. No kidding, this
was a human geographer who graduated after 12 years and
today is a professor at a university in the Netherlands. Most
monographs would be in the range of 150 to 250 pages.
Benefits of a monograph
• If you opt for a monograph, you’ll have this grand piece of
work – all done in your MS/PhD years – and it will remain for
the rest of your life.
• It looks impressive on the book shelf in your office or in the
library.
• You have a lot of freedom in the way you write, deciding
rather freely on the layout, and how to include photographs,
tables, figures or data-sheets.
• You’re not dependant on any external determining factors like
the editorial and peer-review process of a journal. That means
you have more freedom with the timeline in which you write
your dissertation – it is you who makes the decisions.
• Research monographs can be reformatted editions of dissertations,
theses, or other significant research reports.
• Monographs are published by university presses and commercial
scholarly publishers.
• A point of difference is that authors may get a royalty payment for
monographs, whereas for most other research dissemination, such as
journal articles and conference papers, authors do not receive direct
payment.
• As a commercial work, a monograph will typically be edited to be
readable to a more general or specific audience, depending on to
whom the publisher will be marketing the book.
• The readership of a research monograph will likely be individuals
with varying levels of expertise in the field, ranging from students to
academics, practitioners to lay people.
• When writing, you can assume the reader will have some interest in
the topic, but he or she may not have much background in the field.
• Research monographs are usually peer-reviewed.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Sample of a Photoemission from Optoelectronic Materials and Their Nanostructures is the
first monograph to investigate the photoemission from low-dimensional
monograph
nonlinear optical, III-V, II-VI, GaP, Ge, PtSb2, zero-gap, stressed, bismuth,
carbon nanotubes, GaSb, IV-VI, Pb1-xGexTe, graphite, Te, II-V, ZnP2, CdP2 ,
Bi2Te3, Sb, and IV-VI materials. The investigation leads to a discussion of III-
V, II-VI, IV-VI and HgTe/CdTe quantum confined superlattices, and
superlattices of optoelectronic materials. Photo-excitation changes the band
structure of optoelectronic compounds in fundamental ways, which has been
incorporated into the analysis of photoemission from macro- and micro-
structures of these materials on the basis of newly formulated electron
dispersion laws that control the studies of quantum effect devices in the
presence of light. The importance of the measurement of band gap in
optoelectronic materials in the presence of external photo-excitation has been
discussed from this perspective. This monograph contains 125 open-ended
research problems which form an integral part of the text and are useful for
graduate courses on modern optoelectronics in addition to aspiring Ph.D.’s
and researchers in the fields of materials science, computational and
theoretical nano-science and -technology, semiconductor optoelectronics,
quantized-structures, semiconductor physics and condensed matter physics.
