Field pioneer and esteemed author Uchino provides insight into why this relatively nascent and interdisciplinary process has failed so far without a systematic accumulation of fundamental knowledge regarding materials and device development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilling the informational void, this collection of information reviews state-of-the-art research and development trends reflecting nano and optical technologies, environmental regulation, and alternative energy sources. Like the first edition, which became a standard in the field, this volume provides a general introduction to ferroelectrics with theoretical background. It then addresses practical design and device manufacturing, including recently developed processes and applications. Updating old data with a forecast of future developments, the text analyzes improvements to original ferroelectric devices to aid the design process of new ones. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition includes new sections on:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePb-free piezoelectrics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSize effect on ferroelectricity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectrocaloric devices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMicro mass sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePiezoelectric energy harvesting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eLight valves and scanners\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMulti-ferroic devices, including magneto-electric sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eUchino provides a general introduction to the theoretical background of ferroelectric devices, practical materials, device designs, drive\/control techniques, and typical applications.
