BLECK: 
IEEE CIRCUITS &amp; DEVICES MAGAZINE "The problems at the end of each chapter extend the scope of the formal text considerably and are an essential part of the book. The book has several appendices on basic physics and mathematics, which make the book reasonably self-contained and serve to refresh the reader's memory...The author also gives the economic significance of materials. For example he compares the relative costs of raw materials and products made from structural materials, specialty steels, and semiconductors. These comparisons should motivate the reader and place engineering research in its market environment...The historical and economic perspectives strengthen the book. It has some excellent chapters..." 
CHOICE MAGAZINE "Hummel's book is intended as an introduction for materials and electrical engineers to the modern electron theory of materials and it will succeed admirably in that intent for superior students at the senior and graduate levels...admirably done...the book belongs in all academic engineering libraries and in many industrial libraries, particularly those of high-tech companies."

Electronic Properties of Materials: An Introduction for Engineers

Science & Math

Hummel, Rolf E.

Physics

Springer, Verlag

This introduction for engineers examines not only the physical properties of materials, but also their history, uses, development, and some of the implications of resource depletion and materials substitutions.

Understanding Materials Science: History, Properties, Applications, Second Edition

Springer

This carefully revised third edition on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Many examples from engineering practice provide an understanding of common devices and methods.

Thin Films for Optical Coating emphasizes the applications of thin films, deposition of thin films, and thin film characterization. Unlike monographs on this subject, this book presents the views of many expert authors. Individual chapters span a wide arc of topics within this field of study. The book offers an introduction to usual and unusual applications of optical thin films, treating in a more qualitative way general topics such as anticounterfeiting coatings, decorative coatings, light switches, contrast enhancement coatings, multiplexers, optical memories, and more. Contributors review thin film media for optical data storage, UV broadband and narrow-band filters, and optically active thin film coatings. Ion beam sputtering and magnetron sputtering deposition methods are described in detail. Characterization techniques are provided, including Raman spectroscopy and absorption measurements. The book also offers theories on light scattering of thin dielectric films and the electromagnetic properties of nanocermet thin films.This reference incorporates recent research by the individual authors with their views of current developments in their respective fields. Of particular interest to the reader will be an assessment of the historical developments of thin film physics written by one of the fathers of thin film technology, Professor M. Auwärter.

Volume II of Handbook of Optical Properties summarizes our present understanding with respect to how small particles interact with light. This handbook brings together information encompassing the entire field of optical properties in a complete and essential reference for anyone in the field. Many experts in their respective fields present a variety of pertinent optics-related subjects, including:

Handbook of Optical Properties: Optics of Small Particles, Interfaces, and Surfaces, Volume II

Wißmann, P.

This text on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Suitable for advanced undergraduates, it is intended for materials and electrical engineers who want to gain a fundamental understanding of alloys, semiconductor devices, lasers, magnetic materials, and so forth. The book is organized to be used in a one-semester course; to that end each section of applications, after the introduction to the fundamentals of electron theory, can be read independently of the others. Many examples from engineering practice serve to provide an understanding of common devices and methods. Among the modern applications covered are: high-temperature superconductors, optoelectronic materials, semiconductor device fabrication, xerography, magneto-optic memories, and amorphous ferromagnetics. The fourth edition has been revised and updated with an emphasis on the applications sections, which now cover devices of the next generation of electronics.

Written for engineers, this fourth, updated edition of the popular text differs from other books on solid-state physics in stressing concepts, not mathematical formalism. The new edition emphasizes applications and covers next-generation electronic materials.

Hardcover third edition of Hummel's guide to electrical and engineering concepts.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG

This book discusses the electrical, optical, magnetic and thermal properties of materials. Intended for engineers, particularly materials and electrical engineers, it stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. The presentation of the fundamentals underlying semiconductor devices, magnetic materials, lasers, alloys, and so forth, is clear and direct rather than encyclopaedic. The material covered is restricted to essential topics that can be presented in a 15-week, one-semester course. Many applications to practical every-day devices are presented. This second edition has been thoroughly updated and includes sections on device fabrication, optical computing, and thermoelectric properties. The text is divided into five self-contained parts; the first covers the fundamentals of electron theory and introduces the fundamental concepts of the quantum theory of solids - at least to the extent needed for understanding materials science. The remaining parts discuss, in turn, the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials; each of these can be read independently of the others.
