Principles of Dielectrics

Zusatztext The strength of the presentation is its completeness and logical development, and these ensure that the book is a recommended necessity Klappentext This title provides an up-to-date account of the basic principles of dielectrics. It is ideal for advanced undergraduates and graduates in the field! and includes the authoritative coverage needed to develop an understanding of the macroscopic behavior of dielectric materials. Readers will find full derivations of many important formulas as well as a useful listing of references and further readings. Zusammenfassung This work gives an up-to-date account of the theory of dielectrics suitable for graduates and final-year undergraduates in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and materials science. There is a concentration on the basic principles of the subject, without a detailed discussion of experimental data. The macroscopic behaviour of dielectric materials receives most attention; nevertheless an adequate introduction to the microscopic theory of dielectrics is given. The treatment is necessarily mathematical, but sufficient verbal explanations are given so that the physical ideas are not hidden beneath a morass of mathematical symbols. Detailed derivations of key results are provided in appendices, together with extensive lists of references and further general reading.
