This volume will provide interdisciplinary treatment, with a strong materials community, for technical exchange on optoelecronic materials, device application, and system development. Proceedings of the symposium at the 103rd Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, held April 22-25, 2001 in Indianapolis, Indiana; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 126.
The number of ceramic materials with a perovskite type structure is large and of considerable technological importance due to their rich crystal chemistry and structure-property relationships. Applications include multilayer capacitators, piezoelectric transducers, PTC thermistors, electrooptical modulators, optical switches, dielectric resonators, thick film resistors, electronic sensors, electrorestrictive actuators, magnetic bubble memory devices, laser host materials, ferromagnetic...
