Electronic properties of materials.

Author(s) : HUMMEL R. E.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of material stress 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, etc. The book is designed for use in a one-semester course. Many examples drawn from engineering practice 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 and on piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and electrostrictive materials.
