Measurements of resistivity and permittivity of solid dielectrics

This monograph covers a wide range of problems related to volume and surface resistivity measurements as well as electrical permeability and dielectric loss ratio of solid dielectrics.

It contains a thorough analysis of the impact of various factors on the accuracy of measurements and a description of how to minimize them and estimate the uncertainty of measurement results.

Its content is based on modern knowledge in the field of electrical material science and electrical metrology and on many years of experience of the author acquired in an accredited research laboratory of dielectric materials.
