The 23 papers presented by researchers at the 97th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Ceramic Society, Cincinnati, Ohio, May 1995, address crystal growth as a foundation for materials science and engineering, an integral component in the research and development expansions in consumer and military electronics technology. The collection is divided into four major categories, covering: crystal growth methods, modeling, and characterization; thin film growth; growth of optical materials and applications; and radiation damage and defect studies.

A comprehensive treatment of the many aspects of ceramics that are important because of their electrical applications. Describes the fundamentals of how electroceramics function, how they are made, their properties, and their applications, starting from elementary principles, and including the necessary physical, chemical, and mathematical background. Whenever appropriate, a strong emphasis is placed on the relationship between microstructure and properties. Outlines solid state physics, beginning with atomic structure and progressing to the principles underlying the main categories of electroceramics. For undergraduates in materials science.
