Synopsis

Functional Dielectrics for Electronics: Fundamentals of Conversion Properties presents an overview of the nature of electrical polarization, dielectric nonlinearity, electrical charge transfer mechanisms, thermal properties, the nature of high permittivity, low-loss thermostability and other functional dielectrics. The book describes the intrinsic mechanisms of electrical polarization and the energy transformations in non-centrosymmetric crystals that are responsible for converting thermal, mechanical, optical and other impacts into electrical signals. In addition, the book reviews the main physical processes that provide electrical, mechanoelectrical, thermoelectrical and other conversion phenomena in polar crystals.

Detailed descriptions are given to electrical manifestations of polar-sensitivity in the crystals, the interaction of polarization with conductivity, the anomalies in thermal expansion coefficient and main peculiarities of heat transfer in polar-sensitive crystals.

• Provides readers with a fundamental understanding of polar dielectric materials and their physical processes
• Includes different models of polar sensitivity and experimental confirmation of these models
• Discusses thermal expansion, heat transfer, dielectric nonlinearity and other important aspects for electronics applications

About the Authors

Dr Poplavko has been teaching electronic materials science topics for the past 40 years in the Ukraine, Portugal and South Korea. During his time at the National Technical University of Ukraine he has developed several courses in materials science and physics and has published more than 20 scientific books and manuals (4 books in English, 6 books in Russian, and 10 books in Ukrainian) on dielectrics, polar crystals, ferroelectrics, and many others. Dr Poplavko is also a renowned expert in the physics of ferroelectrics and dielectrics, known primarily for his efforts in discovering the research method microwave dielectric spectroscopy.

Dr Yakymenko is currently the First Vice-Rector of the National Technical University of Ukraine. In the past he has served as the Head of the Microelectronics Department and the Dean of the Faculty of Electronics. He is a senior member of the IEEE and a member of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine. His scientific activities have been devoted to electronics, information technology, and engineering education. He is the author of more than 250 scientific works and has been awarded two state prizes in the field of science and technology.
