Produktinformationen zu „Optical Materials (PDF)“
Optical Materials presents, in a unified form, the underlying physical and structural processes that determine the optical behavior of materials. It does this by combining elements from physics, optics, and materials science in a seamless manner, and introducing quantum mechanics when needed. The book groups the characteristics of optical materials into classes with similar behavior. In treating each type of material, the text pays particular attention to atomic composition and chemical makeup, electronic states and band structure, and physical microstructure so that the reader will gain insight into the kinds of materials engineering and processing conditions that are required to produce a material exhibiting a desired optical property. The physical principles are presented on many levels, including a physical explanation, followed by formal mathematical support and examples and methods of measurement. The reader may overlook the equations with no loss of comprehension, or may use the text to find appropriate equations for calculations of optical properties.
- Presents the optical properties of metals, insulators, semiconductors, laser materials, and non-linear materials
- Physical processes are discussed and quantified using precise mathematical treatment, followed by examples and a discussion of measurement methods
- Authors combine many years of expertise in condensed matter physics, classical and quantum optics, and materials science
- The text is written on many levels and will benefit the novice as well as the expert
- Explains the concept of color in materials
- Explains the non-linear optical behavior of materials in a unified form
- Appendices present rigorous derivations
Autoren-Porträt von Joseph H. Simmons, Kelly S. Potter
Retired Eminent Professor and Baucke Chair at the Florida Gulf Coast University (Fort Myers, FL) where he was the Founding Director of the Emergent Technologies Institute for 5 years, which culminated in the building of the off-campus ETI teaching and research facility and a solar field installation. Simmons retired from the University of Arizona in 2013 after serving as Head of the Materials Science and Engineering Department since 2000. During that time, in addition to conducting research into quantum confinement and ultrafast optical processes in semiconductors, Simmons investigated new photovoltaic materials and a variety of energy storage technologies. Under the direction of Simmons, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering started unique degree-granting programs in optical materials science, computational materials research, and heritage conservation science. Simmons joined the University of Arizona as Department Head, after serving 16 years as Professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering and an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Florida. His prior posts were in the Physics Department of the Catholic University of America (10 years), the National Bureau of Standards (currently NIST) (8 years) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (4 years). Joseph Simmons graduated with a BS (University of Maryland), an MS (John Carroll University) and a PhD (Catholic University) in Physics. His studies have spanned numerous topics in condensed matter physics, optical physics and computational materials modeling and have included: (1) fundamental studies of quantum-size effects on excitons in nanoclusters, (2) time-resolved measurements of optical properties and carrier dynamics in wide bandgap semiconductors, (3) investigations of the processes underlying linear and non-linear optical behavior in inorganic glasses, including electronic Kerr non-linearity and permanent and transient

photosensitivity of glass films, (4) atomistic simulations of optical and mechanical properties of various solids, and (5) non-linear viscous flow and rheological behavior of molten glasses. Simmons is the author of over 150 peer-reviewed journal articles, 16 US patents, 4 book chapters and the editor of 2 books. Simmons was the Editor of the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids for over 10 years.

Pressezitat
For technically intermediate or advanced readers, Simmons (U. of Florida-Gainsville) and Potter (Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque) explore the underlying mechanisms that make optical materials what they are and determine how they behave. They group characteristics of the materials into classes with similar behavior and present a broad range of optical materials behavior in order to show which properties are held in common and which differ between various classes of materials. They emphasize atomic composition and chemical makeup, electronic states and band structure, and physical microstructure.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
