About this product
An expert discussion of the physics underlying the electrical industrial use of metals and semiconductors
In Conductors, Semiconductors, Insulators, and Crystal-Growth Technology, distinguished nuclear science researcher, Zeev Burshtein, delivers a comprehensive discussion of the most relevant aspects of solid-state physics, basic devices, and material preparation. The book details the evaluation of content, beginning with solid materials and including the physics occurring in solids, the translation of resulting properties into devices, and explanations of how to prepare solid materials for electronic and optical applications.
Burshtein also includes features appendices with additional material, as well as complete discussions of crystal-growth technology intertwined with explanations of the underlying physical applications of grown crystals.
Readers will also find:
- A thorough introduction to solid-state structure, crystal lattice vibrations, and free electrons in metals
- Comprehensive explorations of semiconductor basics, charge-carriers under thermal equilibrium, and charge-carrier dynamics
- Practical discussions of field-effect devices, radiation and light detectors, and passive optical components
- Complete treatments of the history of grown crystals, solidification processes, furnace design technology, and crystal growing methods
Perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics, electronics engineering, and materials engineering, Conductors, Semiconductors, Insulators, and Crystal-Growth Technology will also benefit electronics and materials engineers involved in research and development of related technologies.
