Describes some of the new broad-band techniques for obtaining spectra of dielectric permittivity and loss in ferroelectrics and related materials in the wavelength range of meter to submillimeter. Also presents spectroscopic results for many crystals, including low-dimensional and ferroelectric semiconductors, protonic conductors, quasi-one-dimensional H- bonded, and other order-disorder ferroelectrics. The methods and results are useful in developing new conducting materials for digital communications and radar systems. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy of Ferroelectrics and Related Materials summarizes the research in this exciting field and discusses many crystals that were investigated in the microwave region, including low-dimensional and ferroelectric semiconductors, protonic conductors, quasi-one-dimensional H-bonded and other order-disorder ferroelectrics.
In this important book, the author summarizes and generalizes the results of 25 years of work in this exciting field, which has been developing extensively within the last few decades. The reader will find discussions of many crystals that were investigated in the microwave region, including low-dimensional and ferroelectric semiconductors, protonic conductors, quasi-one-dimensional H-bonded. and other order-disorder ferroelectrics. This volume is an essential reference for all scientists and graduate students whose interests are connected to the physics of ferroelectrics and related materials; the physics of structural phase transitions; and superionic conductors. It will also be of value to those interested in developing or exploiting microwave measurement techniques.
