Colour and The Optical Properties of Materials: An Exploration of the Relationship Between Light, the Optical Properties of Materials and Colour, 2nd Edition by Richard J. D. Tilley
English | 2011-03-15 | ISBN: 0470746963 | 526 pages | PDF | 5,8 MB

Our day-to-day world is ablaze with colour. Information we seek is presented in bright colours, via displays ranging in size from small touch screen mobile phones to large screen plasma televisions. An understanding of the scientific principles underlying the generation of colour is increasingly important to a wide range of academic disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and engineering.

Now in its second edition, Colour and the Optical Properties of Materials provides a thorough scientific overview of all aspects of colour and its relationship to the chemical and physical properties of materials. Primarily aimed at undergraduate students but of interest to anyone seeking an understanding of colour in its many manifestations, the book focuses attention on the ways that colour is produced and how these govern device applications.

Features:

-Richly illustrated in full colour throughout.
-Introduces the science behind the subject whilst closely connecting it to relevant examples of colour in everyday life, such as iridescent butterflies, electronic paper and brightly coloured holographic security markers.
-Each chapter has been totally rewritten and each diagram redrawn to include extensive new material, including quantum dot nanoparticle colours, OLEDs, photonic crystals and plasmonic crystals and sensors.
-Includes extensive suggestions for further reading, allowing all topics to be explored in greater depth
