Summary:

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.
