We began planning and writing this book in thc late 1970$ at thc ugge s stion of Manuel Cardona and Helmut Latsch. We also received considerable eo- couragement and stimulation from colleagues. Same said there was a need for instructional material in tbis area while others emphasized thc utility of a research text. We tried to strike a compromise. Thc figures, tables, and rcferences are included to enable researchcrs to obt81o quickly essential information in this area of semiconductor research. For instructoTS and stu- dents, we attempt to cover same basic ideas abaut electronic structure...

Modem materials science is exploiting novel tools of solid-state physics and chemistry to obtain an unprecedented understanding of the structure of matter at the atomic level. The direct outcome of this understanding is the ability to design and fabricate new materials whose properties are tailored to a given device ap- plication. Although applications of materials science can range from low weight, high strength composites for the automobile and aviation industry to biocompat- ible polymers, in no other field has progress been more strikingly rapid than in that of electronic materials. In...
