Electronic Materials
H.L. Kwok
Materials Science Foundations Vols. 63-64
This book aims to bridge the gap between solid-state physics,
materials science and electronics. Its objective is to serve as a
textbook covering all three areas, but having the ultimate goal of
providing an understanding of the operation of devices. To make
this book useful to a broad set of readers, the tendency is to treat
the more difficult subjects, such as solid-state physics, using fewer
mathematics and including worked examples where possible. By
using such an approach, it is possible to include not only basic
principles, but also the knowledge needed for applications. Keeping
the subject matter at the elementary level as far as possible, the first
2 chapters introduce classical theories and address questions as
elementary as, what are solids, before moving on to examine crystal
structures and the link between crystal structures and materials
properties. In the subsequent chapters, solids are examined in the
sequence: metals; semiconductors; insulators; magnetic solids;
superconductors; light-sensitive solids. Applications are discussed
and examined. The last chapter is devoted to solid-state transducers
and their applications. Altogether, this makes for a very accessible
introduction to the subject matter.

Energy and Environment Engineering and Management
Eds. Paulo Sérgio Duque de Brito and José Gañán Gómez
Advanced Materials Research Vol. 107
This collection comprises selected papers from the 3 rd
International Congress on Energy and Environment Engineering
and Management. Each Congress provides an opportunity for
academics, scientific consultants and companies to share days
of interaction that permit the free interchange of experience and,
at the same time, create and renew links between different workgroups.
This Congress included a total of six thematic areas,
covering a broad spectrum within the applications associated with
environmental engineering, energy installations, renewable energy,
electromechanics, materials and project engineering. The contents
therefore provide a handy introduction to the subject.
