Overview

Polar Electronic Materials examines the complex and diverse manifestations of polar properties in electronic materials, presenting key concepts about their electrical, mechanical, and thermal effects. It explores the fundamental physics of polar materials through accessible models that explain unusual features of heat transfer, thermal expansion, and the interaction between polarization and electrical conductivity. The book also introduces an alternative concept of the internal nature of polarity in non-centrosymmetric crystals. Features: Presents current research on polar materials using clear models that expand understanding of fundamental phenomena. Explores the transformative properties of polar materials with practical applications for electronic devices. Explains thermal transport peculiarities in ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics, including negative thermal expansion. Analyses the relationship between electrical conductivity and polarization in various polar structures. Demonstrates methods for inducing and controlling polar properties in non-polar materials through electrical and mechanical effects. This book is intended for researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals in materials science, solid-state physics, and electronic engineering focused on advancing the field of polar electronic materials.
