Editorial Reviews:

Book Description
Principles of Electrical Engineering Materials and Devices, Revised Edition, is designed for a course on electrical engineering materials. The author has not added or removed sections to render this edition a second edition. However, a number of sections, illustrations, examples and problems have been revised and updated in the current revised edition. The revisions have improved the rigor without sacrificing the original semiquantitative approach that the students liked. For example, the thermoelectric effect now includes the Mott-Jones index (x) which is normally treated at the graduate level but has been introduced here through a semiquantitative discussion to explain the true sign of the Seebeck coefficient in metals (one of the most difficult graduate topics in quantum mechanics of metals). Overall, there were over some three hundred individual changes to improve the textbook. The text now includes the Electronic Materials and Devices CD-ROM. The CD includes color overhead transparency diagrams, an illustrated dictionary, Chapter 9: Optical Properties of Materials, and additional topics and solved problems. The book is found in the department of Electrical Engineering but can also be found in the department of Materials Science, and sometimes both. It might also be found in Engineering Physics, Applied Physics, and Physics departments. It is often taught between a basic electronic circuits course taught in the junior year and the semiconductors course usually taught in the senior year. This text does a superb job of "bridging" the gap between these two courses. It will is suitable for both one- and two-semester courses. By focusing only on those topics relevant to materials that make up electrical devices, the book offers students a deeper and more meaningful discussion of this material than is offered in general materials science textbooks. The coverage is up-to-date and the applications are of special relevance to students of electronics.
