This is an introductory book on electronic materials intended for students of
Electronics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Material Science. The
importance of semiconductors, ferro and ferri magnetic, dielectric and
ferroelectric materials in modern electronic engineering is reflected by the
large number of rapidly growing research and development establishments in these
fields. All electrical and electronic devices employ the above materials in one
form or other. Therefore, the basic understanding of the natural behaviour of
the material is a prerequisite for students in Engineering and Technology. With
the developments in electronic and electrical industry, there is a greater
responsibility on the shoulders of the engineers and physicists to
