Piezoelectrics and Nanomaterials: Fundamentals, Developments, and Applications

The advanced materials, based on piezoelectric and nanotechnology approaches and their numerous applications are very important for modern science and techniques. Fast development of used theoretical, experimental and numerical methods caused by improvement of experimental equipment, theoretical and numerical approaches and computer hard- and software are analysed. These achievements allow us to understand and estimate very fine processes and transformations occurring during processing, loading and operation of modern materials and devices under intense internal and external influences. This edited book, divided in ten chapters, is devoted to the fundamentals, developments and applications of modern piezoelectrics and nanomaterials.
