By Anthony C. Fischer-Cripps

delivering a operating realizing of fabrics physics with no the common long and exhaustive discussions present in different books, The fabrics Physics Companion bargains an obtainable creation to an important thoughts of fabrics physics. Following the fashion of the author’s different partners, this publication keeps a reader-friendly layout and takes a simple method while offering tricky themes. It illustrates key innovations and ideas of fabrics technological know-how and good country physics in transparent, one-page, figure-rich descriptions. Designed as a supplementary textual content and revision relief, the publication includes many labored examples and overview questions all through.

Divided into 3 components, the textual content starts off with an creation to fabrics physics. the writer stories the components of crystallography, quantum mechanics, stable kingdom physics, and x-ray diffraction. The booklet then specializes in dielectric homes of fabrics, overlaying polarizability, ferroelectric and piezoelectric fabrics, and dielectric breakdown. the ultimate part explores magnetic homes of fabrics, together with ferromagnetism and superconductivity.

Taking an obtainable method of fabrics physics, this article is certain to supply transparent solutions to tricky questions confronted by way of undergraduate scholars. The publication also will function a convenient reminder for pro scientists who want a speedy refresher in a specific sector of fabrics physics.
