Product Description
Product Description
It includes both chemical and physical approaches to the properties of solids, and clearly separates those aspects of materials properties that can be tackled with classical physics from those that require quantum mechanics.
∗ Quantum mechanics are introduced later to allow readers to be familiar with some of the mathematics necessary for quantum mechanics before being exposed to its bewildering fundamental concepts.
∗ Discusses the electronic properties of solids from the viewpoint of elementary band theory, and end with a brief treatment of semiconductors and some semiconducting devices.

From the Back Cover
FINALLY, AN ACCESSIBLE INTRODUCTION TO THE ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS!
Livingston helps make the complex concepts behind the electronic properties of materials much more accessible for students. His very readable writing style and clear organization help to make the key topics much easier to understand. The first part of this text presents only “classical” ideas, covering the electronic properties of solids that are pertinent to the use of materials as components in various products. The second part introduces Quantum mechanics and applies Quantum chemistry and Quantum physics to the basic properties of metals, insulators, and semiconductors. This approach allows the student to become familiar with some of the mathematics necessary for Quantum mechanics before being exposed to the more challenging fundamental concepts.
Special features of the Text:
- Quantum chemistry and Quantum physics are presented in a balanced approach.
- A strong focus is placedon optical properties of solids. Students will be especially interested on the coverage of color which answers everyday Questions from why the sky is blue to why the grass is green.
- Actual engineering applications are used frequently to show students the importance of the developments of math physics.

Excellent Boook, 7 Mar 2003
By Mridul Chaturvedi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electronic Properties of Engineering Materials (Wiley MIT Series in Material Science) (Paperback)
This is an excellent intorductory course book on the subject of electronic sciences. I am really impressed with Part 2 ( chapetre 8 to 16)- Quantum Mechanically Approach. The text is well supported by the the example after a subtopic. The concept of the energy bands, bonds, free electron theory, semiconductors are really explained very well from a conceptual point of view. The prolems in the books really gives an insight and by solving the problem clears the basic concepts of the subject.Overall, the book is very good for a grasp in the subject.
