Book Description

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).Japan is currently the most active country among those carrying out research into the rapidly expanding sphere of Electroceramics; a field that holds tremendous promise for expanding or opening-up a wide range of high-tech applications. The authoritative and intensively reviewed papers which make up the present volume, encompass the topics of: dielectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, semiconductors, magnetic ceramics, thin films, batteries and cells, memory devices and optical devices.The book undoubtedly fulfils its aim of bringing researchers and engineers fully up-to-date with the latest ideas and techniques appearing in the fast-moving science and technology of electroceramics. The 84 papers in this collection originally were presented during the Electronics Division Meeting of the Ceramic Society of Japan held in October 2007 in Tokyo. Topics include dielectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, semiconductors, magnetic ceramics, thin films, batteries and cells, memory devices, and optical devices. The intent of the publication is to bring researchers and engineers up to date on the latest thinking and techniques in the science and technology of electroceramics. Editors are Kato (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science), Takenaka (Tokyo U. of Science), Takata (Nagoaka U. of Technology), and Shinozaki (Tokyo Institute of Technology).
