Principles of Electronic Ceramics Author: R. E. Newnham (Penn State University) Publisher: Wiley-Interscience (often out of print) ISBN: 978-0471618216 principles of electronic ceramics pdf
: Most advanced texts, such as the seminal Principles of Electronic Ceramics by L.L. Hench and J.K. West, derive properties from first principles. This involves using quantum mechanics to understand energy bands and statistical mechanics to predict how charge carriers (electrons, holes, or ions) behave under different conditions.
