The Essence of Solid-State Electronics contains all the essential material for an undergraduate to understand the physics and applications of modern electronic materials and devices. There is an emphasis on semiconductors, but the book also covers the properties of common dielectric and magnetic materials at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. How electronic materials are used in diodes and transistors is also shown, as is how these devices operate in simple electronic circuits. The aim of the book throughout is to impart accurate physical models of electronic materials which are easy to understand.

This is one of a series designed to help teachers planning a site visit. Historical background is combined with a variety of possible study approaches, documentary sources and photocopiable activity sheets for classroom and on-site work, together with practical information about the site.
