本书作者,英国皇家学会会员、中国科学院外籍院士Robert W.Cahn教授为我国材料研究团体和大学教育工作者所熟知。本书近乎完美地实现了作者所设定的双重目标:一是从渐变演化的视角界定材料科学的学科内涵;二是对这一学科主题的现状作概括性评述。该书范围涉及所有主要材料类别和几代材料科学家所关注的主要问题,论述全面、系统。作者成功地避开了这类书籍通常难免的最大缺点:叙述的重心无可奈何地偏倾于作者最熟悉的主题。这得益于作者百科全书般的广博知识和他的公平态度:不折不扣地给予与各种主题材料地位相称的篇幅。 该书作者的写作风格简洁明快,清新活泼,令很多人倾慕。这种迷人的写作风格对提高该书的可读性起到很大作用,使该书不仅适合于材料科学工作者,也使其他读者产生阅读兴趣,这对材料科学和材料研究的进一步突破、创新与发展,乃至人才的培养极为重要。作者还在材料科学学科深化的宏大构架上天衣无缝地编织了很多杰出材料的史传及贡献,使得本书内容充实生动,读者在阅读过程中不仅会获得知识,同时享受极大的乐趣,并得到启迪。 这本涵盖极广的材料科学史书共征引了发表于200多年间的700多篇重要科学文献。这本书应该成为材料科学工作者的必读物,也值得甚至应该被关心和欲掌握人类知识增长的人研读。不仅因为它涉及宽广的领域,而且因为它以史为据,洞见材料科学发展的规律,无论新老材科研究者均能从阅读中获益,从而得到急需的启发和创新的能力

This is the first book that can be considered a textbook on thin film science, complete with exercises at the end of each chapter. Ohring has contributed many highly regarded reference books to the AP list, including Reliability and Failure of Electronic Materials and the Engineering Science of Thin Films. The knowledge base is intended for science and engineering students in advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate level courses on thin films and scientists and engineers who are entering or require an overview of the field. Since 1992, when the book was first published, the field of thin films has expanded tremendously, especially with regard to technological applications. The second edition will bring the book up-to-date with regard to these advances. Most chapters have been greatly updated, and several new chapters have been added

Understanding materials, their properties and behavior is fundamental to engineering design, and a key application of materials science. Written for all students of engineering, materials science and design, this book describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Extensively revised for this fourth edition, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design is recognized as one of the leading materials selection texts, and provides a unique and genuinely innovative resource

本书内容包括：固体材料的结构，常用工程材料(高分子材料、金属材料、陶瓷材料和复合材料)的结构、力学性能、成分、加工工艺以及应用前景，常用工程材料的化学性能(耐腐蚀性能)和物理性能(电、磁、热和光学性能)以及新型材料(生物材料、纳米材料和智能材料)的介绍等

This book describes semiconductors from a materials science perspective rather than from condensed matter physics or electrical engineering viewpoints. It includes discussion of current approaches to organic materials for electronic devices. It further describes the fundamental aspects of thin film nucleation and growth, and the most common physical and chemical vapor deposition techniques. Examples of the application of the concepts in each chapter to specific problems or situations are included, along with recommended readings and homework problems

Describing the fundamental physical properties of materials used in electronics, the thorough coverage of this book will facilitate an understanding of the technological processes used in the fabrication of electronic and photonic devices. The book opens with an introduction to the basic applied physics of simple electronic states and energy levels. Silicon and copper, the building blocks for many electronic devices, are used as examples. Next, more advanced theories are developed to better account for the electronic and optical behavior of ordered materials, such as diamond, and disordered materials, such as amorphous silicon. Finally, the principal quasi-particles (phonons, polarons, excitons, plasmons, and polaritons) that are fundamental to explaining phenomena such as component aging (phonons) and optical performance in terms of yield (excitons) or communication speed (polarons) are discussed
