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 "what?", "how?" and "why" 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.

The object of this book is to provide a comprehensive reference source for the numerous scientific communities (engineers, researchers, students, etc.) in various disciplines which require detailed information in the field of dielectric materials. Part 1 focuses on physical properties, electrical ageing, and modeling - including topics such as the physics of charged dielectric materials, conduction mechanisms, dielectric relaxation, space charge, electric ageing and end of life (EOL) models, and dielectric experimental characterization. Part 2 examines applications of specific relevance to dielectric materials: insulating oils for transformers, electro-rheological fluids, electrolytic capacitors, ionic membranes, photovoltaic conversion, dielectric thermal control coatings for geostationary satellites, plastics recycling and piezoelectric polymers.

This handbook--a sequel to the widely used Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids--contains critical reviews and tabulated values of indexes of refraction (n) and extinction coefficients (k) for almost 50 materials that were not covered in the original handbook. For each material, the best known n and k values have been carefully tabulated, from the x-ray to millimeter-wave region of the spectrum by expert optical scientists. In addition, the handbook features thirteen introductory chapters that discuss the determination of n and k by various techniques.* Contributors have decided the best values for n and k* References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have come from* Allows the reader to determine if any data in a spectral region needs to be filled in* Gives a wide and detailed view of experimental techniques for measuring the optical constants n and k* Incorporates and describes crystal structure, space-group symmetry, unit-cell dimensions, number of optic and acoustic modes, frequencies of optic modes, the irreducible representation, band gap, plasma frequency, and static dielectric constant

Dielectric Spectroscopy of Electronic Materials: Applied Physics of Dielectrics incorporates the results of four decades of research and applications of dielectric spectroscopy for solids, mostly for the investigation of materials used in electronics. The book differs from others by more detailed analysis of the features of dielectric spectra conditioned by specific mechanisms of electrical polarization and conductivity. Some original methods are presented in the simulation of frequency distributions (relaxers and oscillators), with methods proposed for various ferroelectrics frequency-temperature dielectric spectra. Also described are original methods for ferroelectrics on microwaves investigation, including the features of thin films study. The book is not burdened by complex mathematical proofs and should help readers quickly understand how to apply dielectric spectroscopy methods to their own research problems. More advanced readers may also find this book valuable as a review of the key concepts and latest advances on the topics presented. - Introduces critical material characterization techniques by an expert with more than 40 years of experience in dielectric spectroscopy - Reviews advances in dielectric spectroscopy methods to enable advances such as the miniaturization of electronics at the nanoscale - Provides an overview of polarization mechanisms utilizing different models (i.e., oscillator and relaxation)

In reviewing the growth, development and properties of dielectrics, it is worth discussing the issues of creating new materials and understanding the origin of the properties shown with external stimuli. Beginning with a brief summary of the history of the dielectric materials, this review focuses on the chronological development and recent works with possible future applications. At present, the broad class of dielectrics becomes interesting from the point of view of its diverse applications in various fields. Solid dielectrics are perhaps the most commonly used dielectrics in electrical engineering, and many solids are very good insulators. As we know, solids may be classified according to various criteria: (i) structure (as crystalline and non-crystalline solids); (ii) electrical conductivity (conductors, semiconductors and insulators); (iii) the existence of some basic properties. Dielectric materials can be divided into 32 crystal classes or point groups.
