Dielectric Phenomena in Solids e-bog

In general, a dielectric is considered as a non-conducting or insulating material (such as a ceramic or polymer used to manufacture a microelectronic device). This book describes the laws governing all dielectric phenomena.* A unified approach is used in describing each of the dielectric phenomena, with the aim of answering "e;what?"e;, "e;how?"e; and "e;why"e; for the occurrence of each phenomenon;* Coverage unavailable in other books on ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, electro-optic processes, and electrets;* Theoretical analyses are general and broadly applicable;* Mathematics is simplified and emphasis is placed on the physical insight of the mechanisms responsible for the phenomena;* Truly comprehensive coverage not available in the current literature.
