Synthesis, Properties, and Crystal Chemistry of Perovskite-Based Materials Proceedings of the 106th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA 2004

The number of ceramic materials with a perovskite type structure islarge and of considerable technological importance due to theirrich crystal chemistry and structure-property relationships.Applications include multilayer capacitators, piezoelectrictransducers, PTC thermistors, electrooptical modulators, opticalswitches, dielectric resonators, thick film resistors, electronicsensors, electrorestrictive actuators, magnetic bubble memorydevices, laser host materials, ferromagnetic materials, refractoryelectrodes, second harmonic generators, batteries, ceramicelectrodes, thermoelectric devices, and high temperaturesuperconductors. This volume contains papers on the research and development of newperovskite materials for various applications including doping ofexisting perovskite materials as well as processing for improvedproperties.
