Keeping this in view we have developed the subject matter for B., Diploma in engineering, M.) courses as per their latest syllabii.
The book is also useful for UPSC, GATE, NET, SLET and other entrance examinations. A reasonably wide coverage in sufficient depth has been attempted, giving the importance to the basic principles, essential theory and experimental details necessary for understanding the nature, properties and applications of materials. All efforts have been made to provide topics which are of great use to the readers, e. semiconductors, superconductors, polymers, composites, nanostructured materials, etc.
Latest develop- ments, e. quantum dots, spinotrics, MOSFET, Microelectronic circuits, MEMS, nanotechnology, etc. are also covered. To make the text more useful, good number of worked out problems, review questions, problems, short- question answers, typical objective questions, suggested readings are provided with each chapter.

INTRODUCTION Materials science and engineering plays a vital role in this modern age of science and technology. Various kinds of materials are used in industry, housing, agriculture, transportation, etc. to meet the plant and individual requirements. The rapid developments in the field of quantum theory of solids have opened vast opportunities for better understanding and utilization of various materials.
The spectacular success in the field of space is primarily due to the rapid advances in high-temperature and high-strength materials. The selection of a specific material for a particular use is a very complex process. However, one can simplify the choice if the details about (i) operating parameters, (ii) manufacturing processes, (iii) functional requirements and (iv) cost considerations are known. Factors affecting the selection of materials are sum- marized in Table 1.
