This comprehensive examination elucidates the factors determining material conductivity, distinguishing between conductors, insulators, and semiconductors. Through detailed analysis, the text illuminates the thermal agitation of solids, manifesting as vibrations known as phonons, which impede electron flow and contribute to electrical resistance. Readers gain insight into the production of electronic devices through semiconductor doping, exploring various device types and their functionalities. The book further investigates the temperature-dependent behavior of metal resistance, including the phenomenon of superconductivity, wherein resistance vanishes entirely at low temperatures?a phenomenon comprehensively elucidated within these pages. Moreover, the text unravels the mysteries of magnetism in solids, exploring how certain metals, such as iron, exhibit permanent magnetism. By probing into the underlying causes of magnetism, readers gain a deeper understanding of solid-state physics. Additionally, the book explores imaging techniques such as X-rays, offering insights into how scientists peer inside solids to decipher their internal structures and properties. Geared toward scientists and engineers, the book serves as an indispensable resource for mastering the foundational concepts of solid-state physics?a discipline indispensable to modern technology. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Solid-State Sciences,$x2197-4179 ;$v203 606 $aSemiconductors 606 $aSolid state physics 606 $aMagnetism 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aPhysics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aSemiconductors 606 $aElectronic Devices 606 $aMagnetism 606 $aStructure of Condensed Matter 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics 606 $aPhysics and Astronomy 615 0$aSemiconductors. 615 0$aSolid state physics. 615 0$aMagnetism. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 14$aSemiconductors. 615 24$aElectronic Devices. 615 24$aMagnetism. 615 24$aStructure of Condensed Matter. 615 24$aCondensed Matter Physics. 615 24$aPhysics and Astronomy. 676 $a537.622 700 $aKhaneja$b Navin$01766164 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910882889903321 996 $aElectron Waves in Solids$94209929 997 $aUNINA
