Electronic Properties of Materials
This text on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Suitable for advanced undergraduates, it is intended for materials and electrical engineers who want to gain a fundamental understanding of alloys, semiconductor devices, lasers, magnetic materials, and so forth.

This text on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Suitable for advanced undergraduates, it is intended for materials and electrical engineers who want to gain a fundamental understanding of alloys, semiconductor devices, lasers, magnetic materials, and so forth. The book is organized to be used in a one-semester course; to that end each section of applications, after the introduction to the fundamentals of electron theory, can be read independently of the others. Many examples from engineering practice serve to provide an understanding of common devices and methods. Among the modern applications covered are: high-temperature superconductors, optoelectronic materials, semiconductor device fabrication, xerography, magneto-optic memories, and amorphous ferromagnetics. This third edition has been revised and updated throughout and includes new sections on thermoelectric phenomena; piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and electrostrictive materials; and liquid-crystal and other flat-panel displays. Booknews A textbook for a 15-week semester undergraduate engineering course on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, and amorphous materials. Emphasizes the concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Divided into five self-contained parts, so that instructors can put together their own courses. Incorporates high- temperature superconductors, recent developments in optoelectronics, and other changes since the 1985 first edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
