This book aims to introduce the reader to basic concepts concerning
matter physics, describing how fundamental properties of atoms,
molecules and condensed matter are affected by properties of
electrons and by their interaction with electromagnetic waves.As an
introductory text on basic properties of matter, the contents are
designed for undergraduate students in electrical engineering. It
is based on the lectures given by the author for over a decade on
Matter Physics and Solid State Physics. It focuses on electronic
properties to discuss the structure, electrical and optical
properties of matter, and is organized into six chapters.The first
chapter is a short review of the basic properties of
electromagnetic waves, giving the basic concepts related to wave
propagation to be handled easily to understand the subsequent
topics. The next chapter on quantum mechanics helps to understand
the quantum properties of matter using the simplest formalizations.
Chapter 3 introduces the core of the book by using quantum
mechanics to describe the electronic properties of the atom. Then,
after atomic bonding, molecules and condensed matter are discussed
before approaching the structural properties of crystal and soft
matter. The following chapters (4 and 5) are then devoted to
electrical properties and optical properties and address the main
topics related to solid state and semiconductor physics as well as
light-matter interaction. The final chapter 6, deals with the basic
properties of lasers, due to the relevance of light sources in
everyday life, and their widespread use in all branches of
engineering.
