More than ever prior to, technological advancements are blurring the bounds shared by way of a variety of parts of engineering (such as electric, chemical, mechanical, and biomedical), fabrics technological know-how, physics, and chemistry. based on this elevated interdisciplinarity and interdependency of other engineering and technology fields, Electronic, Magnetic, and Optical Materials takes a inevitably serious, all-encompassing method of introducing the basics of digital, magnetic, and optical houses of fabrics to scholars of technological know-how and engineering.

Weaving jointly technology and engineering points, this publication continues a cautious stability among basics (i.e., underlying physics-related strategies) and technological points (e.g., production of units, fabrics processing, etc.) to hide functions for various fields, together with:

• Nanoscience


• Electromagnetics


• Semiconductors


• Optoelectronics


• Fiber optics


• Microelectronic circuit design


• Photovoltaics


• Dielectric ceramics


• Ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, and pyroelectrics


• Magnetic materials

Building upon his 20 years of expertise as a professor, Fulay integrates engineering options with technological facets of fabrics utilized in the electronics, magnetics, and photonics industries. This introductory e-book concentrates on primary themes and discusses functions to various real-world technological examples—from desktops to charge cards to optic fibers—that will attract readers at any point of understanding.

Gain the data to appreciate how digital, optical, and magnetic fabrics and units paintings and the way novel units might be made which may compete with or increase silicon-based electronics.

Where so much books at the topic are aimed toward experts (e.g., these operating in semiconductors), this lengthy past due textual content is a extra wide-ranging review that gives perception into the progressively fading contrast among units and fabrics. it truly is well-suited to the desires of senior-level undergraduate and first-year graduate scholars or someone operating in undefined, despite their history or point of experience.
