This book emphasizes the understanding of the basic physics underlying the electrical industrial use of metals and semiconductors, while providing specific basic examples. Split into two parts the first ten chapters cover Conductors, Semiconductors, and Applications while the last five chapters address Crystals Growth Technology. Further the features appendices with extra material. The two subjects exhibit a strong affinity, because realization of semiconductors applications requires crystals growing and understanding the underlying physical applications that grown crystal serve is essential in the field. Topics include: Solid-State Structure; Crystal Lattice Vibrations; Free Electrons in Metals; Preliminary Concepts Regarding Semiconductors; Charge-Carriers under Thermal Equilibrium; Charge-Carriers Dynamics; p-n Junction Based Devices; Field-Effect Devices; Radiation and Light Detectors; Passive Optical Components; History of Crystals Growing and Basic Concepts; Solidification Processes; Furnaces Design Technology; Crystals Growing Methods; and Selected Examples of Crystals Growing and Processing.

PHYSICS, OPTICS, AND SPECTROSCOPY OF MATERIALSBridges a gap that exists between optical spectroscopists and laser systems developersPhysics, Optics, and Spectroscopy of Materials provides professionals and students in materials science and engineering, optics, and spectroscopy a basic understanding and tools for stimulating current research, as well as developing and implementing new laser devices in optical spectroscopy. The author--a noted expert on that subject matter--covers a wide range of topics including: effects of light and mater interaction such as light absorption, emission and scattering by atoms and molecules; energy levels in hydrogen, hydrogen-like atoms, and many electron atoms; electronic structure of molecules, classification of vibrational and rotational motions of molecules, wave propagation and oscillations in dielectric solids, light propagation in isotropic and anisotropic solids, including frequency doubling dividing and shifting, solid materials optics, and lasers.The book provides a basic overview of the laser and its comprising components. For example, the text describes methods for achieving fast Q-switching in laser cavities, and illustrates examples of several specific laser systems used in industry and scientific research. This important book:* Provides a comprehensive background in material physics, optics, and spectroscopy* Details examples of specific laser systems used in industry and scientific research including helium/neon laser, copper vapor laser, hydrogen-fluoride chemical laser, dye lasers, and diode lasers* Presents a basic overview of the laser and its comprising components* Elaborates on several important subjects in laser beams optics: divergence modes, lens transitions, and crossing of anisotropic crystalsWritten for research scientists and students in the fields of laser science and technology and materials optical spectroscopy, Physics, Optics, and Spectroscopy of Materials covers knowledge gaps for concepts including oscillator strength, allowed and forbidden transitions between electronic and vibrational states, Raman scattering, and group-theoretical states nomenclature.
