DAVID YOUNG received his Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter physics from Florida State University in 1998. He then held a post-doc position in the Department of Chemistry and the Princeton Materials Institute at Princeton University before joining the faculty in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State University in 2000. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of high-quality single crystals of novel electronic and magnetic materials. The goal of his research group is to understand the physics of electrons in materials under extreme conditions, that is, at temperatures close to absolute zero, in high magnetic fields, and under high pressure. He is the coauthor of over 250 research publications that have appeared in peer-reviewed journals, such as Physical Review B, Physical Review Letters, and Nature. Professor Young has taught introductory physics with the Cutnell & Johnson text since he was a senior undergraduate almost 30 years ago. He routinely lectures to large sections, often in excess of 300 students. To engage such a large number of students, he uses WileyPLUS, electronic response systems, tutorial-style recitation sessions, and in-class demonstrations. Professor Young has received multiple awards for outstanding teaching of undergraduates. David enjoys spending his free time with his family, playing basketball, and working on his house.

SHANE STADLER earned a Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter physics from Tulane University in 1998. Afterwards, he accepted a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, where he conducted research on artificially structured magnetic materials. Three years later, he joined the faculty in the Department of Physics at Southern Illinois University (the home institution of John Cutnell and Ken Johnson, the original authors of this textbook), before joining the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State University in 2008. His research group studies novel magnetic materials for applications in the areas of spintronics and magnetic cooling.
