Summary: "Designed for advanced undergraduate students and as a useful reference book for material researchers, 'Physical Properties of Materials, Third Edition' establishes the principles that control the optical, thermal, electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of materials. Using an atomic and molecular approach, this introduction to materials science offers readers a wide-ranging survey of the field and a basis to understand future materials. The author incorporates comments on applications of materials science, extensive references to the contemporary and classic literature, and 350 end-of-chapter problems. In addition, unique tutorials allow students to apply the principles to understand applications, such as photocopying, magnetic devices, fiber optics, and more. This fully revised and updated Third Edition includes new materials and processes, such as topological insulators, 3-D printing, and more information on nanomaterials. The new edition also now adds Learning Goals at the end of each chapter and a Glossary with more than 500 entries for quick reference. [Features:] Introduces various materials via their properties and applications of materials through videos on a companion website. Uniquely offers broad coverage of physical properties and deep connections concerning the relationship between structure and origins of the properties. New topics include references to the latest research topics in materials science and engineering, including boron nitride nanotubes, new energy storage materials, and materials for renewable energy capture." --
