(Ebook) Electronic, Magnetic, and Optical Materials 2nd Edition by Pradeep Fulay & Jung-Kun Lee ISBN 9781498701693, 1498701698

The primary motivation for this book stems from the need for an introductory textbook that captures the fundamentals as well as the applications of the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of materials. The subject matter has grown significantly more interdisciplinary and is of interest to many different academic disciplines.There are several undergraduate engineering and science textbooks devoted to specific topics such as electromagnetics, semiconductors, optoelectronics, fiber optics, microelectronic circuit design, photovoltaics, superconductors, electronic ceramics, and magnetic materials. However, most of these books are geared toward specialists. We were not able to find a single introductory textbook that takes an interdisciplinary approach that is not only critical but also of interest to students from various disciplines. This book is an attempt to fill this gap, which is important to so many disciplines but not adequately covered in any one of them.We have written this book for typical junior (third-year) or senior (fourth-year) students of science, such as physics and chemistry, or engineering, such as materials science and electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineering, and we have used an interdisciplinary approach. The book is also appropriate for graduate students from different disciplines and for those who do not have a significant background in solid-state physics, electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, or related disciplines. This book builds upon our almost 25 years of combined experience in teaching an introductory undergraduate course on electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of materials to both engineering and engineering physics students.
