Materials Science for Electrical and Electronic Engineers

This is a book for electrical and electronic engineers, not for materials scientists. Every explanation is rendered in its simplest and clearest form and as many relevant examples are included as possible. At every point, the author makes clear the direct relevance of every topic to the reader's main course of study: electrical and electronic engineering. Written in a lively style, this book provides a unified treatment of the materials used in electrical and electronic engineerin: conductors, electronic and functional materials and insulators, their manufacture and their application.
