1st Edition
by R. K. Pandey (Author)
The first textbook to provide
in-depth treatment of electroceramics with emphasis on applications in
microelectronics, magneto-electronics, spintronics, energy storage and
harvesting, sensors and detectors, magnetics, and in electro-optics and
acousto-optics
Electroceramics is a class of ceramic
materials used primarily for their electrical properties. This book
covers the important topics relevant to this growing field and places
great emphasis on devices and applications. It provides sufficient
background in theory and mathematics so that readers can gain insight
into phenomena that are unique to electroceramics. Each chapter has its
own brief introduction with an explanation of how the said content
impacts technology. Multiple examples are provided to reinforce the
content as well as numerous end-of-chapter problems for students to
solve and learn. The book also includes suggestions for advanced study
and key words relevant to each chapter.
Fundamentals of Electroceramics: Materials, Devices and Applications
offers eleven chapters covering: 1.Nature and types of solid materials;
2. Processing of Materials; 3. Methods for Materials Characterization;
4. Binding Forces in Solids and Essential Elements of Crystallography;
5. Dominant Forces and Effects in Electroceramics; 6. Coupled Nonlinear
Effects in Electroceramics; 7. Elements of Semiconductor; 8.
Electroceramic Semiconductor Devices; 9. Electroceramics and Green
Energy; 10.Electroceramic Magnetics; and 11. Electro-optics and
Acousto-optics.
Provides an in-depth treatment of electroceramics
with the emphasis on fundamental theoretical concepts, devices, and
applications with focus on non-linear dielectrics
- Emphasizes
applications in microelectronics, magneto-electronics, spintronics,
energy storage and harvesting, sensors and detectors, magnetics and in
electro-optics and acousto-optics

- Motivates
students to get interested in research on various aspects of
electroceramics at undergraduate and graduate levels leading to a
challenging career path.
- Includes examples and problem questions within every chapter that prepare students well for independent thinking and learning.
Fundamentals of Electroceramics: Materials, Devices and Applications
is an invaluable academic textbook that will benefit all students,
professors, researchers, scientists, engineers, and teachers of ceramic
engineering, electrical engineering, applied physics, materials science,
and engineering.
