DESCRIPTION:
This text remains a highly readable, comprehensive, and straightforward introduction to the electrical properties of materials.. The mathematical treatment is deliberately kept simple: well within the grasp of a second-year student. Topics are selected so that the operation of devices having applications (or possible future applications) in engineering can be explained. This work, written in a particularly readable and accessible style, stresses the fundamental ideas relevant to the understanding of the electrical properties of materials. This is achieved by choosing the simplest model that can display the essential properties of a phenomenon and then examining the difference between the ideal and the actual behavior. For this new edition new or updated information will be found on Fullerenes; III-V and II-VI semiconductors; High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs): Photorefractive materials and semiconductor lasers; Optical fibre innovations; New magnetic materials; the Quantum Hall effect; and many other topics
"Witty and Informative" according to Christopher Robinson. This work demonstrates that scientists are people too! Solymar and Walsh offer a survey of a difficult subject in a manner that is easy to follow, and sometimes funny. The quantum mechanics of electronics are explained in sufficient depth to be useful, but not overdone enough to be boring. I especially loved the section on superconduc
There are very few mathematical difficulties." Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen " popular with students, largely because it is sprinkled with pleasant humour major strengths are in its sense of humour and its range " Materials Scientist, MIT " main strengths are clarity of presentation and the style of writing If there was a "bedtime reading" book on electrical properties then this is it!" Lecturer, Birmingham University "The unique approach, accessible style and wide range of topics make this invaluable for undergraduate teaching." Physics Lecturer, Staffordshire University . "I found it easy to use as a textbook
