Principles of the Solid State

Uses an integrated, scientists' approach to the principles regulating the synthesis, structure and physical characteristics of crystalline solids. Mathematical derivations are kept to a minimum. Covers electrical properties of metals and band semiconductors, superionic conductors, ferrites and solid electrolytes. Features end-of-chapter problem sets.

Semiconductors, ferrites, magnetic garnets, solid state lasers, piezoelectrics,
ferroelectrics, ultraviolet- and infrared-sensitive crystals, magnetic bubbles, etc.,
are a part of the several solid state devices in use to-day. This advancement of ...
