Electronic Properties Of Engineering Materials

Electronic Properties of Engineering Materials

It includes both chemical and physical approaches to the propertiesof solids, and clearly separates those aspects of materialsproperties that can be tackled with classical physics from thosethat require quantum mechanics.* Quantum mechanics are introduced later to allow readers to befamiliar with some of the mathematics necessary for quantummechanics before being exposed to its bewildering fundamentalconcepts.* Discusses the electronic properties of solids from the viewpointof elementary band theory, and end with a brief treatment ofsemiconductors and some semiconducting devices.
