Book Description

038795144X 978-0387951447 December 21, 2000 3rd

This carefully revised third edition on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Many examples from engineering practice provide an understanding of common devices and methods.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference text. Well organized and presented., June 11, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Electronic Properties of Materials (Hardcover)
This is an excellent text for every electrical engineering student whether graduate or undergraduate. I found the information to be clear and concise which made the concepts easily manageable. The use of mathematical formulas are placed in such a way as to aid with the reading rather than to be overbearing as other solid-state physics texts can be. The author does a great job in sectioning the book into parts, thereby making it easier to focus on a particular area of interest without having to hunt for the deisred information. For practicing engineers, this is a good reference book, especially if you are looking to gain a further understanding of device physics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, concept-oriented treatment of the subject., September 1, 1999
By A Customer
The author should be commended for writing a textbook that focuses on the concepts instead of mathematical formulas, making the subject easy to comprehend. At the same time, the formulas are there for more indepth understanding. Overall, a good textbook for an undergraduate student of materials science.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, May 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Electronic Properties of Materials (Hardcover)
I have read many textbooks as an Engineering student. This is the best.
Very helpful Appendices that I have even referred to in other classes. Well organized chapters. Thorough and easy (relatively speaking) explanations.
My only complaint is chapter in-balance; Some chapters are only a few pages while others seem to last forever.
