  This book comprises a collection of lectures which aims to stress the fundamental ideas relevant to the understanding of the electrical properties of materials. Topics explain the operation of devices with applications in engineering. The mathematical treatment is kept simple by choosing the simplest model that can display the essential properties of a phenomenon and then examining the difference between the ideal and the actual behaviour. This fourth edition has updated information on the technology of semiconductor and laser devices and a new chapter on optoelectronics. It also covers recent developments in the field of superconductivity, and new problems and examples throughout the text have been added. The Solutions Manual is available separately - ISBN 0-19-856221-7. This book may be of interest to students and post-graduates in electrical and electronic engineering and physics, and practising engineers .
