Dielectric Spectroscopy of Electronic Materials: Applied Physics of Dielectrics

Dielectric Spectroscopy of Electronic Materials: Applied Physics of Dielectrics incorporates the results of last four decades of research and applications of dielectric spectroscopy for solids, mostly for investigation of materials for use 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 both (relaxors and oscillators); the methods are proposed for various ferroelectrics frequency-temperature dielectric spectra. Also described are some 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 assist readers to quickly understanding 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 in the subject.
