Abstract
Understanding of the electrical, dielectrical and optical properties of functional ceramics for materials engineers, physicists and electrical engineers.
Objective
Understanding of the electrical, dielectrical and optical properties of functional ceramics for materials engineers, physicists and electrical engineers.
Content
Ceramics II covers the basic principles of functional ceramics such as linear and non-linear dielectrics, semiconductors, ionic and mixed ionic-electronic condctors and defect chemestry of ceramics as well as materials aspects of high temperature superconductors. Examples of applications cover the range from piezo- pyro and opto-electronic materials over sensors and solid oxide fuel cells to squids and fault current limiters with superconducting compounds.
