Fundamentals of Electroceramics: Materials, Devices, and Applications by R. K. Pandey (Author) delves into the comprehensive world of electroceramics with a focus on their applications in microelectronics, magneto-electronics, spintronics, energy storage and harvesting, sensors and detectors, magnetics, and in electro-optics and acousto-optics. This book serves as the first dedicated textbook to provide an in-depth treatment of this growing field, placing significant emphasis on devices and practical applications.
With a solid foundation in theory and mathematics, the text offers readers insight into phenomena unique to electroceramics. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction explaining its relevance to technology, followed by detailed content reinforced through multiple examples. Numerous end-of-chapter problems are provided for students to solve and learn from, along with suggestions for advanced study and key words relevant to each chapter.
The book covers eleven essential chapters: Nature and Types of Solid Materials; Processing of Materials; Methods for Materials Characterization; Binding Forces in Solids and Essential Elements of Crystallography; Dominant Forces and Effects in Electroceramics; Coupled Nonlinear Effects in Electroceramics; Elements of Semiconductor; Electroceramic Semiconductor Devices; Electroceramics and Green Energy; Electroceramic Magnetics; and Electro-optics and Acousto-optics.
Discover the fundamental aspects and advanced applications of electroceramics in this comprehensive guide, ideal for students, researchers, and professionals in the field.
