This book presents practical and relevant technological information about electromagnetic properties of materials and their applications. It is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and is the product of many years of teaching basic and applied electromagnetism. Topics range from the spectroscopy and characterization of dielectrics, to non-linear effects, to ion-beam applications in materials.
Describing the fundamental physical properties of materials used in electronics, the thorough coverage of this book will facilitate an understanding of the technological processes used in the fabrication of electronic and photonic devices. The book opens with an introduction to the basic applied physics of simple electronic states and energy levels. Silicon and copper, the building blocks for many electronic devices, are used as examples. Next, more advanced theories are developed to better account for the electronic and optical behavior of ordered materials, such as diamond, and disordered materials, such as amorphous silicon. Finally, the principal quasi-particles (phonons, polarons, excitons, plasmons, and polaritons) that are fundamental to explaining phenomena such as component aging (phonons) and optical performance in terms of yield (excitons) or communication speed (polarons) are discussed.
This textbook can be used to teach electromagnetism to a wide range of undergraduate science majors in physics, electrical engineering or materials science. By making lesser demands on mathematical knowledge than typical texts, and by emphasizing electromagnetic properties of materials and their applications, this text is particularly appropriate for students of materials science. Many competing books focus on the study of propagation waves either in the microwave or optical domain, whereas Basic Electromagnetism and Materials covers the entire electromagnetic domain and the physical response of materials to these waves.
Optoelectronic devices are currently being developed at an extraordinary rate. Organic light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic devices and electro-optical modulators are pivotal to the future of displays, photosensors and solar cells, and communication technologies. This book details the theories underlying the mechanisms involved in the relevant organic materials and covers, at a basic level, how the organic components are made. The first part of the book introduces the fundamental theories used to describe ordered solids and goes onto detail on concepts applicable to localised energy levels. Then the methods used to determine energy levels particular to perfectly ordered molecular and macromol...
Discussing theory and transport, synthesis, processing, properties, and applications, this second edition of a standard resource covers advances in the field of electrically conducting polymers and contains more than 1500 drawings, photographs, tables, and equations. Maintaining the style of presentation and depth of coverage that made the first edition so popular, it contains the authoritative contributions of an interdisciplinary team of world-renowned experts encompassing the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. The Handbook of Conducting Polymers highlights progress, delineates improvements, and examines novel tools for polymer and materials scientists..
This second volume of Energy Resources and Systems is focused on renewable energy resources. Renewable energy mainly comes from wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, ocean, bioenergy, ethanol and hydrogen. Each of these energy resources is important and growing. For example, high-head hydroelectric energy is a well established energy resource and already contributes about 20% of the world’s electricity. Some countries have significant high-head resources and produce the bulk of their electrical power by this method. However, the bulk of the world’s high-head hydroelectric resources have not been exploited, particularly by the underdeveloped countries. Low-head hydroelectric is unexploited...

Cet ouvrage propose une analyse approfondie de l'électromagnétisme. Après une révision des équations des phénomènes indépendants du temps, il analyse en détail l'induction, les équations de Maxwell et les ondes électromagnétiques dans les diélectriques, les conducteurs et les plasmas. Il étudie ensuite la réflexion et la transmission des ondes sur la surface de ces milieux, leur propagation dans les lignes de transmissions et les guides d'ondes ainsi que leur émission par les dipôles électriques et magnétiques, les antennes et les particules chargées. Les principes de base sont clairement exposés et les lois physiques démontrées. Les notions et les techniques mathématiques sont graduellement introduites. Les aspects physiques et les applications sont largement développés. Chaque chapitre contient des exemples résolus, un résumé des principaux résultats, des questions de réflexion et de nombreux exercices groupés par sections et classés par difficulté croissante, allant des simples applications à des problèmes complexes. Leurs réponses sont données en fin d'ouvrage.
Cet ouvrage dresse un panorama des concepts et des applications des nanotechnologies. Il introduit les nouveaux nanomatériaux carbonés et les nouveaux moyens d’observation de l’infiniment petit qui ont définitivement assis les nanosciences et les nanotechnologies dans le monde de l’industrie et de la recherche. Les nano-objets les plus représentatifs et leur mise en réseaux ordonnés y sont décrits. Les propriétés dues au confinement de la matière sont analysées dans le cas de nanomatériaux métalliques, isolants et semiconducteurs. Puis il retrace l’évolution de l’électronique et les orientations nouvelles vers l’électronique moléculaire et la spintronique, l’ut...
