Electronic Properties of Materials

Very good introduction to the subject.

Book Just as described and in great condition. Purchased this for a class and the professor never ended up using it, so I didn't reading read it much and cannot attest to the value of its content on the subject.

nice book

Pages not connected to the hardcover binding

Dr. Rolf Hummel is not only an amazing author but also a remarkable lecturer. I recently graduated from the University of Florida and was very gracious to have Professor Hummel for a few of my courses. He has an extraordinary way of connecting with students in the classroom, making the lectures very interactive. He likes to follow the textbook when he lectures, and this is perhaps why his teaching is so effective. This textbook is a MUST for any first or second year physics, chemistry, or any engineering discipline student. Dr. Hummel approaches quantum mechanics from a very light angel and does not scare the reader away from its complexity. The textbook has a very nice layout separated into electronic, optical, magnetic and thermal properties. He also provides a nice amount of supplemental reading to current literature regarding the subject matter.Also Dr. Hummel mentioned in class that all of the procedes he receives from textbook sales, he donates to the university and various scientific organizations.

Publisher takes apparent shortcut in reproducing the print edition with equations pasted into text in tiny print. Waste of money to purchase in this format.

Very Good textbook I thought it would be a heavy book but it turned out to be a small one.

The copy I received is misprinted on every page (see picture). Consequently, useless.
