In this book the experts from Teledyne Microelectronics give you the results of painstaking, comparative research of 45 sources dating from 1910 to the present. This invaluable source book gives a complete, individual set of references to the original sources for each material discussed. You'll also find data for a wide temperature range and for a range of compositions and doping elvels. An ideal reference for engineers and materials scientists, this text covers 13 metallic and semiconductive elements, 17 alloys, 9 elemental and compound insulators, and 4 compound semiconductors. You can easily locate all the thermal, electrical, physical, chemical, and mechanical data on these materials documented and illustrated with over 500 graphs, tables, and charts.
