More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Catering for the ceramists who need an insight into the elementary principles of electricity, magnetism and ionic structures, this book concerns solid state physics beginning with atomic structure and leading up to the principles underlying conductive, semiconductive, dielectric and ferroelectric behaviour. Subsequently there is a description of the methods of fabrication and conductive ceramics from heating rods to gas sensors and superconductors, as well as dielectrics from high tension insulators to chip capacitators, piezoelectrics from spark generators to sonar, pyroelectrics, and electro-optics.
From the Author
One of the authors (AJM) has prepared comprehensive 'Guidance Notes' to assist in addressing the problems set in the textbook. Information regarding availability can be obtained from the editor, Dr Andrew Slade at aslade@wiley.co.uk.

The word ceramic is derived from keramos, the Greek work for potter's clay or ware made from clay and fired, and can simply be interpreted as 'pottery'. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
This is a first class book on electroceramics. It is very well balanced covering theory, properties, practical applications and manufacture of electroceramics. There are excellent illustrations and diagrams. The theory is not too mathematical and would be understood by students as well as professionals. The information on the use of electroceramics in electronic devices is particularly valuable. Certainly a must for all in the physical sciences and engineering with an interest in electroceramics.

An excellent undergraduate-level textbook in electroceramics
15 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
The electroceramics community, in general, has been suffering from a lack of good textbooks which cover all major fields of interest of the subject in a clear and comprehensive manner. The book by Moulson and Herbert is an outstanding exception to that. It can conveniently be used as a senior undergraduate or a first year graduate text. The first 2 chapters of the book summarize the prerequisite background needed in the solid state sciences and ceramic/materials processing, respectively. In the following chapters, a wide range of materials such as conductors, linear dielectrics, piezoelectrics, magnetic materials etc. are presented. The text is easy to read. The underlying physical principles of each subject are well blended with the materials related phenomena, thus providing the the reader with the "broader picture" in a concise fashion. The book contains well-chosen self study problems at the end of each chapter which address practical engineering problems as well as fundamental principles. It is my hope that more books like this will come along soon so that the materials science and engineering students are as well served as their peers in other disciplines in the sciences and engineering. I highly recommend this book for those who are seeking a good textbook and/or for those who would like to self-study the subject.

Electroceramics:Materials, Properties and Applications
31 July 2008
Format:Paperback
Good book. It has been reviewed by many important scientists and engineers of the field.
It have a nice introduction to dielectrics and semiconductors from a solid state physics point of view with may help the engineers and students to find practic use of the solid state theory.
This book takes the reader into a:
1)Fundamental undestanding of ceramics for electronic applications
2)Complete review of processing, applications and properties of dielectric and semiconductor materials. A gentle introduction of field's terms
3)Serve as an introductory guide for post graduate students
