Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy of Ferroelectrics and Related Materials (Ferroelectricity and Related Phenomena)

Recent technological advances affecting the size and useful frequency range of electronic elements depend heavily on the discovery of materials suitable for applications in the development of new radar systems, satellite broadcasting, and multichannel terrestrial and cosmic communications via the use of microwaves. Ferroelectrics and related materials have become of increasing importance for the utilization of microwave techniques. The author summarizes the results in this monograph, presenting the main features in the area of microwave dielectric spectroscopy of ferroelectrics and related materials. The text aims to provide a review of methods available for microwave dielectric measurements and designated ferroelectric families.
