Electronic, Magnetic and Optical Materials From the publisher...
Electronic, Magnetic and Optical Materials By Pradeep Fulay More than ever before, technological developments are blurring the boundaries shared by various areas of engineering (such as electrical, chemical, mechanical, and biomedical), materials science, physics, and chemistry. In response to this increased interdisciplinarity and interdependency of different engineering and science fields, Electronic,Magnetic, and Optical Materials takes a necessarily critical, all-encompassing approach to introducing the fundamentals of electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of materials to students of science and engineering.

Every chapter contains both worked examples and a large number of problems. The variety of problems is wide, ranging from simple applications of formulae from the text through the extraction of data from graphs to more open-ended problems requiring significant insight. Here, as in the text, there is a lot of emphasis on real-world applications.
This is a very accomplished presentation of an important and fast-moving range of technologies. One can imagine this work being used as a text book for a final undergraduate or first postgraduate year course in electronic engineering or materials science. It is also a very useful source of examples of applications for courses which go more deeply into the fundamental physics.
