Piezoelectronic, Pyroelectric and Related Constants

Some years after the publication of Vol. III/11 and its
supplement III/18   dealing with elastic, piezoelectric,
pyroelectric and optical properties of crystals, a complete
recompilation of the data of these volumes and of new   data
was performed. Because of the growth of this subject matter
it was found convenient to divide the material into four
volumes, III/29a and b forthe low frequency properties and
III/30a and b for high frequency propertiesof dielectric
crystals. The first subvolume III/29a, already published         in
1992, contains exclusively second and higher order elastic
constants including temperature and pressure coefficients.
The present second            subvolume III/29b essentially contains
relative dielectric constants and      piezoelectric constants
and their temperature coefficients, as well            as
electrostrictive and pyroelectric coefficients and
electromechanical coupling factors of dielectric crystals.
The data are given in numerous      tables and figures, the
latter mostly showing temperature and                     compositional
dependences. An alphabetical index for all substances            of
both subvolumes listed according to their element systems
and            furthermore an index of chemical, mineralogical, and
technical names help   the reader to find data.
