An informal and highly accessible writing style, a simple treatment
of mathematics, and clear guide to applications have made this book
a classic text in electrical and electronic engineering. The
fundamental ideas relevant to the understanding of the electrical
properties of materials are emphasized; in addition, topics are
selected in order to explain the operation of devices having
applications (or possible future applications) in engineering. The
mathematics, kept deliberately to a minimum, is well within the
grasp of undergraduate students. This is achieved by choosing the
simplest model that can display the essential properties of a
phenomenom, and then examining the difference between the ideal and
the actual behaviour. The whole text is designed as an
undergraduate course. However most individual sections are self
contained and can be used as background reading in graduate
courses, and for interested persons who want to explore advances in
microelectronics, lasers, nanotechnology, and several other topics
that impinge on modern life.

Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic
properties: light affects their electrical conductivity; their
optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by applied
electric fields. The aim of this book is to cover the vast range of
phenomena occurring in Photorefractive Materials. For Physicists it
is part of the fashionable subject of Nonlinear Optics. Engineers
tend to place it as part of optoelectronics promising a variety of
new devices. This book summarizes the results of 28 years of
research in a manner that would appeal both to the beginner (a
graduate student who has just entered the field) and to the expert
(who might have done research on some aspect of the subject for a
decade or more). It is in three parts. Part I serves as an
introduction with emphasis on physical principles and simple
mathematical models. Part II is a comprehensive account of all the
major advances. Its main merit is the organization of the material
accompanied by a detailed list of references. Part III is concerned
with the enormous range of potential applications.
