This book contains papers from the Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Physics Beyond the Standard Model. The conference provided a forum for the latest experimental and theoretical results at the interface between particle physics, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. Topics discussed in approximately 70 papers include: grand unified theories, fundamental symmetries, supersymmetry and supergravity phenomenology, strings, M-theory, new physics at colliders, neutrino mass matrix, solar neutrinos, atmospheric neutrino oscillations, supernovae neutrinos, double beta decay, properties of space time, dark matter, dark energy, baryogenesis, and cosmic rays.

Addressing the need for an up-to-date reference on silicon devices and heterostructures, Beyond the Desert 99 reviews the technology used to grow and characterize Goup IV alloy films. It covers the theory, device design, and simulation of heterojunction transistors, emphasizing their relevance in developing the technologies involving strained layers; device design and simulation of conventional silicon bipolar transistors and SiGe HBTs at room and low temperatures; and device design and simulation for MOSFETs, including SiGe and strained-Si channel MOSFETs. The book concludes with simulations and examples of different applications.
