Lectures on the Electrical Properties of Materials

These lectures stress the fundamental ideas relevant to understanding the electrical properties of materials. Topics have been selected to explain the operation of devices that have direct application in the field of engineering, and the text is kept at a level comprehensible to second-year engineering students. Over the past few years there have been remarkable advances in the technology of semiconductor and laser devices. Revised and updated to include these new developments, the book covers the field of superconductivity and contains a completely new chapter on optoelectronics. The chapter on lasers has been rewritten and new problems and examples have been added throughout the text. The book thus serves as an informative, up-to-date reference for students in electrical engineering and physical electronics as well as for practicing engineers.

This work, written in a particularly readable and accessible style, stresses the fundamental ideas relevant to the understanding of the electrical properties of materials. Topics are selected so that the operation of devices having applications (or possible future applications) in engineering can be explained. The mathematical treatment is deliberately kept simple: 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 phenomenon and then examining the difference between the ideal and the actual behavior. For this new edition new or updated information will be found on Fullerenes; III-V and II-VI semiconductors; High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs): Photorefractive materials and semiconductor lasers; Optical fibre innovations; New magnetic materials; the Quantum Hall effect; and many other topics. This text remains a highly readable, comprehensive, and straightforward introduction to the electrical properties of materials.

The fifth edition of this renowned text is a particularly readable and accessible introduction to the fundamentals of the electrical properties of materials. As in past editions, this book provides an informative, up-to-date reference while retaining its original goal--to present a comprehensive introduction to the field. The book includes discussions emphasizing present and future applications in engineering, clear explanations of concepts that students find difficult, and an introduction to quantum mechanics. For this edition, the text has been updated and revised to reflect developments that have taken place over the past five years. Particular attention has been paid to developments in semiconductor technologies and to practical aspects of continuing miniaturization. In addition, new high temperature superconducting materials, developments in optical fibres and amplifiers, and magnetic materials are covered. Culled from the authors' popular and engaging lectures on the subject, this book deliberately keeps the mathematical treatment simple and well within the grasp of second-year engineering students. It remains a highly readable yet rigorous introduction to the subject for students in electrical and electronic engineering.

This volume contains a series of lectures which stress the fundamental ideas relevant to an understanding of the electrical properties of materials. Topics have been selected so that the operation of devices having applications to engineering can be properly explained. The text has been revised and updated to reflect recent developments, paying particular attention to developments in semiconductor technologies and the practical aspects of miniaturization. Additionally, the text covers high temperature superconducting materials, and developments in optical fibres, optical amplifiers and magnetic materials.

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. 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 undergraduate students. 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.

The seventh edition of this classic text illustrates the fundamentals of the electrical properties of materials in the context of contemporary engineering applications. Written in an informal, accessible style, it emphasizes the core ideas relevant to understanding the subject and deliberately keeps the mathematical treatment simple. The book presents the simplest model that can display the essential properties of a phenomenon and examines it, showing the difference between ideal and actual behavior. Topics are selected so that the operation of devices having applications (or possible future applications) in engineering can be explained. Problems and worked examples are included throughout. Features of the Seventh Edition ·Presents a comprehensive treatment of light emitting diodes, which are rapidly replacing classical lighting sources ·Covers new topics such as organic material (including various polymers) and artificial materials (including photonic gap materials and metamaterials) ·Provides insight into cutting-edge fields such as amorphous semiconductors and nanotechnology ·Discusses new devices including nanotube transistors, single electron transistors, magnetic tunnel junctions, quantum cascade lasers, and ferroelectric and superconducting memories ·A solutions manual and illustrations from the text are available for download at: http://www.oup.com/uk/booksites/content/0199267936/

Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland

Drawing on original research into explosive evidence which had been concealed for twenty-five years, this book offers a devastating critique of the official Widgery Inquiry into the massacre of innocent and unarmed civilians by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday. It exposes the Inquiry as a gross denial of justice and the rule of law. Expert analysis of the subordination of law to security policy in Northern Ireland reveals that the Bloody Sunday experience is an integral part of a sustained pattern. Belated prospects for a restoration of justice and the rule of law are found in the Good Friday Peace Agreement and the unprecedented establishment of a second Tribunal of Inquiry into Bloody Sunday.
