This course will cover electrical properties of ceramic materials and their roles in applications. Especially, we will discover how to utilize special properties of electro-ceramic materials in applications - green technologies, piezoelectric, dielectric, ferroelectric or magnetic applications. To achieve special functions in applications, we need to know the role of electro-ceramic materials in applications and understand the relationship between their properties, structure and their defect states. In this course, we will explore fundamentals of electro-ceramics and their applications.
