This book presents selected topics on processing and properties
of ferroelectric materials that are currently the focus of
attention in scientific and technical research.
Ferro-piezoelectric ceramics are key materials in devices for
many applications, such as automotive, healthcare and
non-destructive testing. As they are polycrystalline,
non-centrosymmetric materials, their piezoelectricity is induced by
the so-called poling process. This is based on the principle of
polarization reversal by the action of an electric field that
characterizes the ferroelectric materials.
This book was born with the aim of increasing the awareness of
the multifunctionality of ferroelectric materials among different
communities, such as researchers, electronic engineers, end-users
and manufacturers, working on and with ferro-piezoelectric ceramic
materials and devices which are based on them.
The initiative to write this book comes from a well-established
group of researchers at the Laboratories of Ferroelectric
Materials, Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC). This
group has been working in different areas concerning thin films and
bulk ceramic materials since the mid-1980s. It is a partner of the
Network of Excellence on Multifunctional and Integrated
Piezoelectric Devices (MIND) of the EC, in which the European
Institute of Piezoelectric Materials and Devices has its
origin.
