Electronic Materials

* Treats authoritatively materials deployed for electronic purposes from dielectrics to super conductors. * Investigates the materials issues underlying three key electronic functions - transduction, memory and display. * Deals with the engineering of materials for a range of real components and devices. * Contains numerous exercises and objective-linked self assessment questions with fully worked answers. * Is a self-study text with lucid and generously illustrated two colour presentations in the well-proven Open University Style. * Is accessible from University entrance level, a stimulating and readable general reference about electrical and electronic engineering. * Has comprehensive coverage: hybrid and printed circuit materials; magnets and magnetic/magneto-optic recording; ceramic transducers; CMOS microtechnology; phosphors, diodes and liquid crystals; warm superconductors.Braithwaite, Nicholas is the author of 'Electronic Materials' with ISBN 9780408028400 and ISBN 0408028408.
