This book on electrical, optical, magnetic and thermal
properties of materials differs from other introductory texts in solid state physics.
First, it is written for engineers, particularly materials and electrical engineers,
who want to gain a fundamental understanding of semiconductor devices, magnetic
materials, lasers, alloys, and so forth. Second, it stresses concepts rather than
mathematical formalism. Third, it is not an encyclopedia: The topics are restricted
to material considered to be essential and which can be covered in one 15-week
semester.
The presentation is divided into five parts. The first part, "Fundamentals of
Electron Theory," introduces the essential quantum mechanical concepts needed
for understanding materials science; the other parts may be read independently
of each other. Many practical applications are discussed to provide students with
an understanding of electronic devices currently in use.
Previous editions have been well received by students and teachers alike. This
third edition has again been thoroughly revised and brought up to date to take
into account the explosive developments in electrical, optical, and magnetic materials
and devices. In particular, the book contains expanded sections on flat-panel
displays (liquid crystals, electroluminescent devices, and field-emission and
plasma displays) as well as discussions of recent developments in ferro- and piezoelectricity,
magneto-optical memories, photonic and magnetoresistive devices, blue- and green-emitting
LED's, and dielectric and thermoelectric properties.
