Features: This book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 1 briefly discusses the electronic energy structure and states in solids, providing some additional knowledge for readers who have not studied solid-state physics. The remaining chapters focus on the electrical, dielectric, optical, thermal, magnetic, elastic, and internal friction (damping) properties of materials, as well as their developments. They elaborate on the important physical and microscopic mechanisms of various properties, the relationships between material composition, microstructure, and performance, and the main governing laws. The book introduces the important testing methods for characterizing key physical parameters and their applications in materials science and engineering. It also lists important functional materials related to various physical properties. Each chapter includes review questions (including computational problems) and a summary. A distinctive feature of the book is the concise comparison of the physical properties of metallic materials, ceramic materials, and polymer materials, which helps readers grasp the general and specific patterns of material physical properties. At the end of the book, in the appendix, it outlines three research methods for studying the atomic environment of materials in nuclear technology. This book is suitable as a textbook or reference for undergraduate students or lower-graduate students in materials science and engineering, as well as for faculty and researchers in the field of materials science and engineering.
Introduction: General College Textbook: This book covers topics such as the electronic energy structure and states in solids, the electrical properties of materials, the dielectric properties of materials, the optical properties of materials, and the thermal properties of materials.
