Electrons in Solids
An Introductory Survey
By- Richard Bube, Stanford University
This Third Edition of ELECTRONS IN SOLIDS: AN INTRODUCTORY SURVEY, is the result of a thorough re-examination of the entire text, incorporating suggestions and corrections by students and professors who have used the text. Explanations and descriptions have been expanded, and additional information has been added on high Tc superconductors, diamond films, "buckminsterfullerenes," and thin magnetic materials. Adopted by many colleges and universities, this text has proven to be a solid introduction to the electrical, optical and magnetic properties of materials.
Audience
Upper-level undergraduate students, and first-year graduate students in materials science, metallurgy, electrical engineering, and applied physics.
