Zustand: good, fair to good. First Printing. 674, illus., tables, figures, footnotes, bibliography, index, name whited out inside fr board, "X" on front flyleaf, DJ edges worn. Small tears/chips to DJ edges. Topics covered include research in physics (magnetism and magnetic resonance, semiconductor physics and electronics--the transistor, surface physics--wave nature of the electron, electronic band structure of metals, quantum electronics--the laser, atoms, molecules, plasmas, astrophysics and magnetospheric physics--cosmic background radiation, ion beams, X-rays, electrons, ordered phases of matter and phase transitions, and the role of theoretical physics at Bell Laboratories), and research in materials (semiconductors, magnet materials--bubbles and chromindur, glasses--fiber light guides, polymers, superconductors, electric currents and electrical conduction, improving themechanical properties of materials, crystal growth and other processing techniques, and characterization techniques).
