Functional Materials: Electrical, Dielectric, Electromagnetic, Optical And Magnetic Applications

The field of functional materials has grown tremendously over the last 5-10 years, due to its richness in both science and applications. This timely compendium covers the science and applications of functional materials in a comprehensive manner that is suitable for readers that do not have background on the electrical, dielectric, electromagnetic, optical and magnetic properties of materials. Prior knowledge of quantum mechanics or solid state physics is also not required. Only a semester of introductory materials science suffices.

This unique reference text is tutorial in style and includes numerous example problems, which are lacking in several competing books in the market.

The must-have volume benefits undergraduate and graduate students in materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and aerospace engineering.
