Product Description
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.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Principles of Dielectrics (Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials, No 45) (Hardcover) In most electromagnetism texts, dielectric materials receive cursory attention. There is usually little description, beyond a table of dielectric constants for various materials. But in engineering/materials science, there is often need for a more indepth treatment. Which is what the authors provide. They start with the basic properties of dielectrics and develop the often neglected theory. It is nice to see this comprehensive treatment. The emphasis here is on a macroscopic scale. The typical audience for this book has no need for a microscopic quantum mechanical treatment. The analysis can be considered a good excursion into applied electromagnetism. Remember your Maxwell's Equations! Comment | | (Report this)
