Kasap S., Capper P. (Eds.) Springer Handbook of Electronic and Photonic Materials

Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006. –1438 p. – ISBN: 0387335765.Electronic materials is a truly interdisciplinary subject that encompasses a number of traditional disciplines such as materials science, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics and chemistry. This unique handbook provides broad coverage of a wide range of electronic and photonic materials, starting from fundamentals and building up to advanced topics and applications. Its wide coverage, with clear illustrations and applications and its chapter sequencing and logical flow, make this a very useful and 'useable' handbook. Each chapter has been prepared either by expert researchers or instructors who have been teaching the subject at a university or in corporate laboratories. Unlike other handbooks that concentrate on a narrow field and have chapters that start at an advanced level, the present handbook starts at a senior-undergraduate level and builds up the subject matter in easy steps and in a logical flow. Wherever possible, the sections are logically sequenced to allow those who need a quick overview of a particular topic immediate access to it.Perspectives on Electronic and Optoelectronic Materials
