This chapter provides a brief description of materials concepts that may be useful in understanding electronic materials. The review is not exhaustive but is intended to provide a minimum (and rather basic) level of familiarity with important concepts used in other chapters. As elsewhere, the reader is referred to the recommended readings for additional background and details.
