Properties, Processing and Applications of Indium Phosphide , edited by T. P. Pearsall. The chapters are written by knowledgeable experts from around the world and present the most current background information, data, and many, many literature references for comprehensive coverage. This volume updates the previous EMIS book on the subject, published in 1991as No. 6. Applications are presented first followed by several chapters on various properties and ending with processing technologies. Many chapters are just 1-2 pages long with almost as many references.
Indexing is quite thorough and the additional list of abbreviations is helpful.
The reviewer was unsure whether the bold numbers in some tables had any significance when the whole number place was bolded yet the decimals following were not. The type is not crisp and clear. For such an expensive volume one expects a cleaner presentation. This volume would be most useful as a reference in a professional or research level collection serving materials scientists, condensed matter physicists, and electronics engineers. Inc.
