Physical electronics: An introduction to the physics of electron devices

by J Seymour

The aim of the present series, therefore, is to produce a number of reasonably concise treatments each covering a specific aspect of electronics. Not only can these be written in a shorter time than can a large book but they are more easily revised and brought up to date. The student can thus select the appropriate volumes to suit the particular aspects of the subject he wishes to cover. Each book is written by a specialist and the academic level in the series as a whole ranges from the early undergraduate to postgraduate and professional standard. This book provides an introduction to the physical principles underlying the operation of present-day electronic devices, and is based on lectures given in recent years to students at Thames Polytechnic studying for degrees awarded by the university of London and by the Council for National Academic Awards. It is intended to be of interest to electrical engineers and applied physicists and is written at about the level of the second or third year of an undergraduate course. The emphasis is on solid-state devices, since they have now largely replaced thermionic valves.
