Electronic, Magnetic, and Optical Materials, 2nd Edition

This book integrates materials science with other engineering subjects such as physics, chemistry and electrical engineering. The authors discuss devices and technologies used by the electronics, magnetics and photonics industries and offer a perspective on the manufacturing technologies used in device fabrication. The new addition includes chapters on optical properties and devices and addresses nanoscale phenomena and nanoscience, a subject that has made significant progress in the past decade regarding the fabrication of various materials and devices with nanometer-scale features.

• Maintains an introductory level for all topics covered while challenging the reader’s ability.
• Balances fundamentals with technological aspects by providing real-world examples to explain concepts.
• Provides an interdisciplinary approach for readers of many different academic disciplines within engineering and science.
• Updated throughout and features two new chapters on fundamentals and applications of optical materials.
• Includes end of chapter problems and a solutions manual for qualifying professors.
