A User's Guide to Vacuum Technology
ASIN: 0815513755 |
Book Description
The vacuum arc is a high current, low voltage electrical discharge between two electrodes situated in a vacuum ambient. The vacuum arc is distinguished from other electrical discharges in that the discharge itself creates the plasma medium which conducts its electrical current. Explaining how this self-organization wonder comes about, and how this phenomena can be used for practical applications are objectives of this book.
Vacuum Arc Science and Technology is a comprehensive text describing the basic physics and technological applications of vacuum arcs. These high current electrical discharges create their own conducting medium by vaporizing and ionizing material from the arc electrodes, to form an energetic, highly ionized, metal vapor plasma.
Part I describes basic physics of the vacuum arc, beginning with a brief tutorial review of plasma and electrical discharge physics, then describes the arc ignition process, cathode and anode spots which serve as the locus for plasma generation, and resultant inter-electrode plasma.
Part II describes the applications of the vacuum arc for depositing thin films and coatings, refining metals, switching high power, and as sources of intense electron, ion, plasma, and x-ray beams.
This text represents the first major update on both the physics of the cathodic arc and the technology and applications of arc devices. The previous major text by Lafferty, Vacuum Arcs, Theory and Application, was published 14 years ago and arc science and technology has since made considerable headway. The book covers the known facts of the cathodic arc and contributions by experts in the field discuss some of the theoretical models presently available.
The processes of thin film growth are covered and discussed in the context of the attractive features of low energy ion fluxes emanating from the cathodic spot. The technological problems of filtering undesirable micro-droplets from the arc plasma are discussed in relation to evaporation source design. Also discussed for the first time are some of the unique developments in arc technology that have taken place in the previous Soviet Union. Emphasis has also been placed on the properties of thin films deposited by arc evaporation, applications for such coatings and emerging opportunities for arc technology.
This book will be of great value to research workers in the field, the student requiring back- ground information on this emerging technology, the industrial worker presently using arc evaporation and/or complementary deposition techniques or considering its use. The book represents the state of the art of arc science and technology as presented by leading expert scientists working in theoretical and experimental areas.

Review of Handbook of Vacuum Arc Science.......2002-05-09
This book should remain the seminal work on the subject of vacuum (and low-pressure gaseous) cathodic and anodic arcs for some time to come. One major plus is the significant number of Russian contributors. The Russians have made many contributions to this field but their work is seldom recognized. It is to the editors credit that they overcame the problems associated with incorporating their work in this book. The book has a chapter on the deposition of coatings, primarily reactive deposition of hard coatings, using arc sources. I think that one thing that is missing from the treatment is the effect of the arc on plasma chemistry. Arcs are very efficient in "activating" reactive gases and decomposing chemical vapor precursors which is important in reactive deposition processes. The cathodic arc also has the advantage in coating deposition that it moves over the whole target surface and thus prevents "poisoning" of some areas on the target surface which can be a problem in magnetron reactive sputter deposition.

Book Description
This third updated edition of Fundamentals of Semiconductors attempts to fill the gap between a general solid-state physics textbook and research articles by providing detailed explanations of the electronic, vibrational, transport, and optical properties of semiconductors. The approach is physical and intuitive rather than formal and pedantic. Theories are presented to explain experimental results. This textbook has been written with both students and researchers in mind. Its emphasis is on understanding the physical properties of Si and similar tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors. The explanations are based on physical insights. Each chapter is enriched by an extensive collection of tables of material parameters, figures, and problems. Many of these problems "lead the student by the hand" to arrive at the results.

The best book in the market.......2006-08-17
This book is an excellent reference book on semiconductors in general. The physics behind semiconductor theory is discussed very well, however, if you are looking for a book regarding semiconductor devices or electronics, this is not what you are looking for.
One advantage of this book is that it contains a fairly large section for "group theory", if you are using it in your studies.
Electronic, transport and especially optical properties of semiconductors are mentioned very extensively and clearly. There is also a whole chapter on photoemission, which is very useful. The concept of quantum confinement is addressed independently with illustrative examples.
If you are interested in semiconductors and want to buy "one" book which you can use and consult all the time, this is the book you need. The authors are some of the best in the World on semiconductors.
Best book on semiconductor PHYSICS.......2004-05-21
I'm a Ph.D on physics, I read this book from page to page and worked out the problems.
This is an excellent book on the physics of semiconductors, NOT on semiconductor devices! The text is well written. The physical concept is clearly explained, mostly with a diagram or a graph. The formulae are carefully deducted without wasting too much time and space. I must add a few words on the problems. From all the physics textbooks I've read, only Claude Cohen-Tannoudji's Quantum Mechanics book is comparable. Those problems usually are about the the formulae, such as k.p. perturbation method and Luttinger Hamiltonian, etc., appeared in the main text but its detail is not appropriate there. The problems are by no means easy. Actually, some of them are really hard. For example, it took me a lot of time to work out the 6 by 6 k.p. perturbation matrix! In the process of working out those problems, I had a better understanding on the computational physics. You don't see that in a normal textbook!
The references are the classical or landstone papers about a specific subject, very good for further research.
In summary, this is an excellent textbook, if you want to study it hard.
3rd edition.......2001-06-26
The third edition is already available. The second is OUT OF PRINT. ENTRY SHOULD BE UPDATED
Excellent balance of breadth and depth.......2000-05-08
This is an excellent book on all properties of semiconductors -electronic structure , phonons , transport and optics . It primarilyfocusses on bulk properties ,but extremely succinct and relevant comments on hetersotructures can also be found interspersed throughout .
Many books on semiconductor physics err on the side of breadth at the expense of depth . I found this book to be a pleasant exception . I believe this leaves other similar books like Physics of Semiconductors and their Heterostructures by J.Singh far behind .
Cardona (of course) is at his best when discussing otical properties , especially optical diagnostic methods . I have not seen a similar book at this level which gives the same level of description of light-matter interaction in semiconductors.
I recommend it highly to all fellow graduate students .

Bridging the gap between electric circuits and electronmagnetics, Ulaby's book leads readers from familiar concepts into more advanced topics and applications. A new, interactive CD-ROM accompanying the book allows users to gain physical intuition about electromagnetics.
Earlier and heavier emphasis on dynamics permits coverage of practical applications in communication systems, radar, optics and solid state computers. Chapter titles include Waves and Phasors, Transmission Lines, Vector Analysis, Electrostatics, Magnetostatics, Maxwell's Equations for Time-Varying Fields, Plane-Wave Propagation, Radiation and Antennas, and Satellite Communication Systems and Radar Sensors.
For use in the study of electromagnetics.
Customer Reviews:
Not a very good book.......2006-12-05
I think Ulaby spent more time getting pretty pictures and diagrams than he spent having the book well-written. It was lacking key concepts, and it was all in a terrible order. (e.g. Transmission lines are in the beginning of the book) Yes, he tries to cover transmission lines before students know anything about electromagnetics.
I recommend David K. Cheng's "Field and Wave Electromagnetics." I actually do not know of any E-mag books. It takes a combination of a few books to learn enough to have useful knowledge, but Cheng's book is by far the closest.
I would probably actually give Ulaby two stars, but this book has way to many stars right now. This is probably from him rating himself or something.
Engineering Student Perspective.......2006-06-01
Admittedly, I have little experience with other electromagnetic theory textbooks; however, I have spent a lot of time reading various engineering books. In this text Ulaby explains the various phenomena and mathematical expressions rather clearly with examples that can really help a reader grasp key ideas and solution methods (that being said e-mag theory can still get very complicated in its derivations). The book has a "just right" amount of color, highlighting key terms and amplifying illustrations, to make the book a little more enjoyable to read. The CD, I was surprised to find out, was a very useful tool as well. On it are PDFs of solutions to several problems from the end of each chapter as well as more detailed solutions to in text examples and exercises. The CD also has some helpful animations that help illustrate concepts a little better than paper can. Unfortunately, like many other engineering text books, several of the end of chapter problems are very difficult to solve with the scope of the example problems. Lastly, this textbook is a very handy reference tool due to its thorough index and highlighting.
Best E&M Book for Quick Reference.......2006-01-28
I took EE101 using this book, it covers transmission lines, smith charts, Maxwell's Eqs, the basics... Now I use this book all the time for quick referencing in my other physics and EE courses. I think it's detailed enough for a first course, but probably best paired with a larger volume. The visual design of this book is wonderfull; it has clear, large graphs and diagrams. The example problems are spot on, but maybe a few more would be nice for a beginning EE student.
Simple and Clear - Good Backup for Physics Majors.......2005-04-17
Good coverage of the basic concepts of E+M. I found this text very useful as a backup for Griffiths E+M (standard undergrad text for physics majors). The math is simple (not a legendre polynomial in sight) and the concepts are clear. The coverage of static fields in materials is especially easy to understand. You're not going to find the dielectric tensor covered here, just the basics layed out in an intuitive format.
Worst EMF book ive seen.......2005-02-12
This has got to be the worst book on EMF's I've ever seen. I had to borrow a number of other books on the topic to complete my work. The presentation of topics is awkward at best, and leaves much to be desired. A book that proposes to be teaching the fundamentals should do that, but this book just lists a smattering of facts about EMF's and wave propogation without any semblance of order or reason. Apart from the shoddy treatment of the material itself, the index appears to be for a completely separate book. Not one item listed in the index could be found within ten pages of the supposed location. There was an average of about plus or minus fifteen pages for most entries, and some weren't even in the book at all.
Book Description
Magnetic materials are all around us, and understanding their properties underlies much of today's engineering efforts. The range of applications in which they are centrally involved includes audio, video and computer technology, tele-communications, automotive sensors, electric motors at all scales, medical imaging, energy supply and transportation, as well as the design of stealthy airplanes.
This book deals with the basic phenomena that govern the magnetic properties of matter, with magnetic materials and with the applications of magnetism in science, technology and medicine.
Although an in-depth understanding of magnetism requires a quantum mechanical approach, a phenomenological description of the mechanisms involved has been deliberately chosen in most chapters in order for the book to be useful to a wide readership. The emphasis is placed, in the part devoted to the atomic aspects of magnetism, on explaining, rather than attempting to calculate, the mechanisms underlying the exchange interaction and magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which lead to magnetic order, hence to useful materials. This theoretical part is placed, in Volume I, between a phenomenological part, introducing magnetic effects at the atomic, mesoscopic and macroscopic levels, and a presentation of magneto-caloric, magneto-elastic, magneto-optical and magneto-transport coupling effects.
Book Description
Magnetic materials are the foundation of multi-billion dollar industries and the focus of intensive research across many disciplines. This book covers the fundamentals, basic theories and applications of magnetism and conventional magnetic materials. Based on a lecture course given by Nicola Spaldin in the Materials Department at University of California, Santa Barbara, the book is ideal for a one- semester course in magnetic materials. It contains numerous homework problems and solutions.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent coverage of basic things in an extremely easy language.......2007-08-04
I think it is one of the best books I ever read. If you are a grad student looking for "in depth" knowledge of magnetism this isn't the one. If you are looking for basics before putting your hands on something complicated this is a PERFECT choice. Doesn't have any complicated equations or anything but it still helps in knowing the basics and so its pleasure reading it. A must for every undergrad I would say.
Good service.......2006-07-22
The book arrived in a timely fashion and was in the condition as was described.
Book Description
Fundamentals of Carrier Transport explores the behavior of charged carriers in semiconductors and semiconductor devices for readers without an extensive background in quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. This second edition contains many new and updated sections, including a completely new chapter on transport in ultrasmall devices and coverage of "full band" transport. Lundstrom also covers both low- and high-field transport, scattering, transport in devices, and transport in mesoscopic systems. He explains in detail the use of Monte Carlo simulation methods and provides many homework exercises along with a variety of worked examples. What makes this book unique is its broad theoretical treatment of transport for advanced students and researchers engaged in experimental semiconductor device research and development.
Customer Reviews:
It's a quantum world..........2004-09-03
There was a time when all a good semiconductor device engineer had to know was the drift-diffusion, Poisson, and continuity equations to model devices, with the Boltzmann transport equation having only made a brief cameo in one's life during a grad school course in Ashcroft and Mermin or some other solid state physics book. With shrinking device dimensions, those days are gone. Lundstrom, a Purdue professor, has written a fairly understandable book (though not easy) describing energy and momentum balance, Monte Carlo methods, and other tools of transport theory. I gave it 4 stars only because I found the notation and style a bit formal for an EE (although a solid state physics student would probably be right at home). On the plus side, there are some interesting topics not normally seen. For example, I believe this may be the only in-print textbook that has a derivation of Van der Pauw's equation for resistivity measurements used in Hall mobility tests by almost every epitaxial growth engineer/scientist on a daily basis. Overall, well worth the money.

Ultrathin Magnetic Structures IV: Applications of Nanomagnetism
ASIN: 3540219536 |
Book Description
The ability to understand and control the unique properties of interfaces has created an entirely new field of magnetism which already has a profound impact in technology and is providing the basis for a revolution in electronics. The last decade has seen dramatic progress in the development of magnetic devices for information technology but also in the basic understanding of the physics of magnetic nanostructures. This volume describes thin film magnetic properties and methods for characterising thin film structure topics that underpin the present 'spintronics' revolution in which devices are based on combined magnetic materials and semiconductors. Volume IV deals with the fundamentals of spintronics: magnetoelectronic materials, spin injection and detection, micromagnetics and the development of magnetic random access memory based on GMR and tunnel junction devices. Together these books provide readers with a comprehensive account of an exciting and rapidly developing field. The treatment is designed to be accessible both to newcomers and to experts already working in this field who would like to get a better understanding of this very diversified area of research.
