Overview of Modern Physics for Engineers Book

This title presents an introduction to quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and materials science. The objective of this text is to remedy the situation in which students in materials science, electrical engineering and applied physics are taught these subjects in a disjointed manner and thus are unable to see the connection of these basic concepts to modern technology and the workings of devices. Before a topic is discussed in detail, some interesting challenges in modern technology are introduced in sections titles "Magic of Technology." At the end of the discussion, the author relates how the fundamentals discussed in the sections address the technological challenges introduced earlier. Special Features Clearly shows the connection between the fundamental principles of physics and the development of new technologies. ?ú Demonstrates concepts using real-world applications such as semiconductors, superconducting materials, or global positioning systems. ?ú Downplays the math in favor of results and their practical application. ?ú Supplemented with nearly 100 solved examples, 120 figures, and 200 problems. ?ú An excellent primer on device physics. Table of Content ?ú Classical View of the Universe. ?ú Quantum Mechanics and the Universe. ?ú Particles That Make Up Our World. ?ú Particles in Periodic Potentials. ?ú Particles in Attractive Potentials. ?ú Tunneling of Particles. ?ú Approximation Methods. ?ú Scattering and Collisions. ?ú Special Theory of Relativity. Appendices. Index.
