- Solutions manual available on request from the publisher's website.
- Full coverage of the whole field of the electrical properties of materials, including device applications
- Written in a style that appeals to undergraduates
- Has been endorsed by lecturers as 'bedtime reading'
- Economic with the use of mathematics
New to this edition - Entire new chapter on Metamaterials, alongside expanded coverage of plasma phenomena and anomalous dispersion.
- Coverage of new developments in many areas, including THz devices, semiconductor devices, spintronics, quantum-dot devices, optoelectronic devices and superconductors.
An informal and highly accessible writing style, a simple treatment of mathematics, and clear guide to applications, have made this book a classic text in electrical and electronic engineering. Students will find it both readable and comprehensive. The fundamental ideas relevant to the understanding of the electrical properties of materials are emphasized; in addition, topics are selected in order to explain the operation of devices having applications (or possible future applications) in engineering.
The mathematics, kept
deliberately to a minimum, is well within the grasp of a second-year student. This is achieved by choosing the simplest model that can display the essential properties of a phenomenom, and then examining the difference between the ideal and the actual behaviour.
The whole text is designed as an undergraduate course. However most individual sections are self contained and can be used as background reading in graduate courses, and for interested persons who want to explore advances in microelectronics, lasers, nanotechnology and several other topics that impinge on modern life.
Readership: Ideal for undergraduates, this book is also an invaluable reference to graduate students and
others wishing to explore this rapidly expanding field.

Review(s) from previous edition
"This book is a delight! It is impossible to read it without a smile coming to your lips every few pages. It is a new edition of a well-known undergraduate text, intended for students of electrical engineering, but I am sure any physics student could benefit from reading it ... It is an excellent educational book, and I am sure that it will achieve the aim of the authors, which is to instill a sense of quantum mechanical reasoning into all its readers. - High Temperatures - High Pressures
