Principles of Dielectrics [Paperback]

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.

1. Elementary Considerations
2. Dielectrics in Static Fields
3. Dielectrics in Time-Dependent Fields
4. Heterogeneous Dielectrics
5. Equilibrium Polarization Fluctuations
6. The Spectral Properties of Equilibrium Fluctuations
7. Basic Principles of the Calculation of the Relative Permittivity
8. Electromechanical Effects
