Solid State Electronic Engineering Materials

Using an atomistic approach, it presents the basic fundamentals of electronic engineering materials in a descriptive and qualitative manner. Covers such areas as wave nature of matter and X-ray diffraction, electronic properties of metals, thermal qualities, interatomic forces and bonding in solids. Features review questions and problems at the end of each chapter, answers to problems, tables giving numerical values of physical properties of materials and a list of physical constants.
