An Introduction to Condensed Matter Physics for the Nanosciences

這本書提供了一個易於理解的凝聚態物理原則介紹，重點放在納米科學和裝置技術上。

Professor Emeritus Arthur R. McGurn, CPhys, FInstP, is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of Optica (formerly Optical Society of America), a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy, and an Outstanding Referee for the journals of the American Physical Society. He received his PhD in Physics in 1975 from the University of California, Santa Barbara, followed by postdoctoral studies at Temple University, Michigan State University, and George Washington University (NASA Langley Research Center). Prof. McGurn's research interests include the theory of: magnetism in disorder materials, electron conductivity, the properties of phonons, ferroelectrics and their nonlinear dynamics, Anderson localization, amorphous materials, the scattering of light from disordered media and rough surfaces, the properties of speckle correlations of light, quantum optics, nonlinear optics, the dynamical properties of nonlinear systems, photonic crystals, and meta-materials. He has over 150 publications spread amongst these various topics. Since 1981 he has taught physics for 38 years at Western Michigan University where he is currently a Professor Emeritus of Physics and a WMU Distinguished Faculty Scholar. A number of PhD students have graduated from Western Michigan University under his supervision.

榮譽教授亞瑟·R·麥克根（Arthur R. McGurn），CPhys，FInstP，是物理學會的院士、美國物理學會的院士、Optica（前身為美國光學學會）的院士、電磁學學院的院士，以及美國物理學會期刊的傑出審稿人。他於1975年在加州大學聖塔巴巴拉分校獲得物理學博士學位，隨後在天普大學、密西根州立大學和喬治·華盛頓大學（NASA朗利研究中心）進行博士後研究。麥克根教授的研究興趣包括：無序材料中的磁性理論、電子導電性、聲子性質、鐵電材料及其非線性動力學、安德森局域化、非晶材料、光在無序介質和粗糙表面上的散射、光的斑點相關性質、量子光學、非線性光學、非線性系統的動態性質、光子晶體和超材料。他在這些不同主題上發表了超過150篇論文。自1981年以來，他在西密西根大學教授物理，至今已有38年，目前是物理學榮譽教授及WMU傑出教學學者。在他的指導下，已有多位博士生從西密西根大學畢業。
