Solid-State Physics

Worked examples are said to be one of the best features of this text. The text also provides comprehensive coverage of material from general field problems as well heat transfer, fluid mechanics and solid and structural mechanics (bars, beams, frames, plane elasticity and plate bending). There is a... More

From physical process to practical applications - Singh makes the complexities of modern semiconductor devices clear! The semiconductor devices that are driving today's information, technologies may seem remarkably complex, but they don't have to be impossible to understand. Filled with figures, flo... More

This handbook offers concise information on the properties of polymeric materials, particularly those most relevant to the areas of physical chemistry and chemical physics. In the second edition of Physical Properties of Polymers Handbook, each chapter has been extensively updated and revised. The n... More

A mainstream, semiconductor device book which will appeal to the entire market. This text motivates students by striking a balance in orientation between a strong physics and a strong applications approach. This book has a unique chapter on the fabrication of devices; integrates a wealth of illustra... More

This is a mainstream semiconductor device book, striking a balance in orientation between a strong physics and strong applications approach. The text focuses on three major categories of devices - the junction diode, the bipolar junction transistor, and field-effect transistor in its various forms. ... More

A complete self-paced course and quick reference for hobbyists, students, and beginning-level technicians. Chapter-ending tests help readers gauge their progress. New edition includes information on computerized test equipment, laser diodes, VMOS transistors, logic family interfacing, new computer m... More

This book is based on the analogy between contact mechanics and fracture mechanics as proposed by the author about twenty years ago. It starts with a chapter devoted to the surface energy and tension of solids and surface thermodynamics, which is followed by a chapter on elastic recall. The methods ... More

Quantum chromodynamics is the fundamental theory of strong interactions. It is a physical theory describing Nature. In this book, however, the reader will not find a discussion on the phenomenological aspect of QCD. What he will find is a profound discussion on the theoretical foundations of QCD: Wh... More

This is a revised edition of the 1999 text on the electronic structure and properties of solids, similar in spirit to the well-known 1980 text "Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids. The revisions include an added chapter on glasses, and rewritten sections on spin-orbit coupling, magneti... More

The present book covers different aspects of proton conduction: the first part describes chemical and physical parameters necessary for fast proton conduction and proposes a classification of different kinds of proton conductors. Comparison is made with other hydrogen containing materials (metals, g... More
