During this period, there has been a trend in high-tech in dustries to use dielectric materials such as ceramics in the manufacture of solid state devices. This book includes material not available anywh ere else useful to researchers in these industries, specifically dealing with ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric and electro-optic pheno mena.
