Electronic Properties of Engineering Materials [Paperback]

James Livingston has written a highly readable undergraduate text introducing the physics and chemistry underlying the electronic properties of engineering solids. The first half of the text uses a semi-classical approach, while the second half introduces quantum mechanics and applies quantum chemistry and quantum physics to the basic properties of metals, insulators, and semiconductors.

Dieses in sehr gut verst?ndlichem Stil geschriebene Lehrbuch f?r untere Semester erkl?rt die physikalischen und chemischen Zusammenh?nge, die den elektronischen Eigenschaften von Festk?rpern zugrunde liegen. Im ersten Teil wird von einem halbklassischen Ansatz ausgegangen, wogegen der zweite Teil quantenmechanisch angelegt ist und die Merkmale von Metallen, Isolatoren und Halbleitern aus den Formalismen der Quantenchemie und -physik heraus erl?utert.
