CLASSIFICATIONS OF SOLID MATERIALS CONDUCTORS Metals have conductivities on the order of SEMICONDUCTORS Semiconductors have intermediate conductivities ranging between to INSULATORS Insulators have low conductivities ranging between to Note: Insulation can fail in a variety of ways, if voltage gets too high and exceeds the " breakdown voltage " electrons will get excited to the point where they break out of their stable orbit, current will then pass through the material and often destroy the insulator.
ELECTRIC CURRENT An electric current results from the motion of electrically charged particles in response to forces that act on them from an externally applied electric field.
ELECTRIC CURRENT Within most solid materials a current arises from the flow of electrons, which is termed electronic conduction. For ionic materials, a net motion of charged ions is possible that produces a current; such is termed ionic conduction .
CONDUCTION IN TERMS OF BAND AND ATOMIC BONDING MODELS Free electrons – ( negatively charged) electrons that are in random continuous motion and participate in the conduction process. However, when connected to a battery, these free electrons will flow opposite to the direction of the electric field instead of random motion. With E lectric Field No Electric Field
CONDUCTION IN TERMS OF BAND AND ATOMIC BONDING MODELS Hole – ( positively charged) found in semiconductors and insulators. Once an electron travels, a hole is created. A hole is considered to have a charge that is of the same magnitude as that for an electron, but of opposite sign ( 1.6x C ).
CONDUCTION IN TERMS OF BAND AND ATOMIC BONDING MODELS Fermi L evel – named after the Physicist, Enrico Fermi . Fermi level is t he highest energy level that an electron can occupy at the absolute zero temperature 0K . It lies between the valence band and conduction band because at absolute zero temperature the electrons are all in the lowest energy state .
CONDUCTION IN TERMS OF BAND AND ATOMIC BONDING MODELS Fermi energy – is the value of the Fermi level at absolute zero temperature 0K or (−273.15 degrees Celsius, or -459.67 Fahrenheit) . It is also the maximum kinetic energy an electron can attain at 0K . Fermi energy is constant for each solid.
CONDUCTION IN TERMS OF BAND AND ATOMIC BONDING MODELS Band gap – the distance between the valence band of electrons and the conduction band. It r epresents the minimum energy that is required to excite an electron up to a state in the conduction band where it can participate in conduction. The size and existence of this band gap allows one to visualize the difference between conductors, semiconductors, and insulators.
CONDUCTION IN TERMS OF BAND AND ATOMIC BONDING MODELS There are four possible band configurations: Partially Filled Bands (metals/conductors) Overlapping Bands (metals/conductors) Semiconductors - narrow band gap (< 2 eV ) note: eV = electron Volt - more electrons excited across band gap d. Insulators - wide band gap (> 2 eV) - few electrons excited across band gap

ELECTRON MOBILITY Electron Mobility – characterizes how quickly an electron can move through a metal or semiconductor when pulled by an electric field. In other words, it is simply the frequency of scattering events. It is represented by .
ELECTRON MOBILITY When a conductor is connected to a voltage source, an electric field is applied. As a result, a force is brought to bear on the free electrons ; as a consequence, they all experience an acceleration in a direction opposite to that of the field , by virtue of their negative charge .
ELECTRON MOBILITY Free electrons ( negative charge ) move in opposite direction of that of the electric field when a conductor is connected to a voltage source.
ELECTRON MOBILITY The scattering of the free electrons will depend on the property of a material . A semiconductor virtually behaves like an insulator at low temperatures . However, at room temperature , some free electrons cross over to the conduction band giving little conductivity to the semiconductor In insulators , f ree electrons cannot freely move due to very low conductivity . The scattering phenomenon is manifested as a resistance to the passage of an electric current. Several parameters are used to describe the extent of this scattering, these include the drift velocity and the mobility of an electron .
ELECTRON MOBILITY Drift velocity - The drift velocity represents the average electron velocity in the direction of the force imposed by the applied field.
ELECTRON MOBILITY Drift speed of electrons is less when compared with its speed in random motion (no electric field). With E lectric Field No E lectric Field

ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY OF METALS MATTHIESSEN’S RULE — for a metal, total electrical resistivity (p) equals the sum of thermal, impurity, and deformation contributions. P = Pthermal + Pimpurity + Pdeformation
ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY OF METALS
INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE For the pure metal and all the copper–nickel alloys shown in Figure 12.8, the resistivity rises linearly with temperature above about 200C.
INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE Formula for Thermal Resistivity: Where: = Thermal Resistivity & = Constants for each metal = Temperature Note : Thermal resistivity is dependent on temperature so they are directly proportional with each other.
INFLUENCE OF IMPURITIES Impurities will distort the crystal lattice, hence impeding the drift velocity. Therefore , the electrical resistivity increases as impurities in a conductor increase.
INFLUENCE OF IMPURITIES Formula for additions of a single impurity that forms a solid solution: Where: = Impurity Resistivity = composition-independent constant that is a function of both the impurity and host metals. = impurity concentration ci in terms of the atom fraction (at %/100) Formula for a two-phase alloy consisting of α and β phases , a rule-of-mixtures expression may be utilized to approximate the resistivity as follows : Where: V ’s and ρ ’s = represent volume fractions and individual resistivities for the respective phases
INFLUENCE OF PLASTIC DEFORMATION Plastic deformation increases the electrical resistivity of a material as a result of increased numbers of electron-scattering dislocations .
INFLUENCE OF PLASTIC DEFORMATION The effect of deformation on resistivity is also represented in Figure 12.8.
SEMI CONDUCTIVITY Electrical conductivity of the semiconducting materials is not as high as that of the metals. The electrical properties of these materials are extremely sensitive to the presence of even minute concentrations of impurities .

DIELECTRIC BEHAVIOR Dielectric is another word for insulator . A dielectric material is one that is electrically insulating (nonmetallic) and exhibits or may be made to exhibit an electric dipole structure; that is, there is a separation of positive and negative electrically charged entities on a molecular or atomic level . When a dielectric is placed between the plates of a capacitor, it increases its capacitance
CAPACITANCE Capacitance – is the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge . Current does not pass through capacitors. It's the electrons attraction of the inverted flow, so there is not real electron flow inside the capacitor .
CAPACITANCE There are three formulas for finding the capacitance : Where: C = capacitance (Farads, F) Q = charge ( Coulumbs , C) V = the voltage applied across the capacitor A = represents the area of the plates l = the distance between the plates = the permittivity of a vacuum (8.85 x F/m ) ε = the permittivity of this dielectric medium (greater in magnitude than )
CAPACITANCE Formula for relative permittivity (or dielectric constant ): Where: = relative permittivity or dielectric constant = the permittivity of a vacuum (8.85 x F/m) ε = the permittivity of this dielectric medium (greater in magnitude than )
The dielectric constant is one material property that is of prime consideration for capacitor design . The values of a number of dielectric materials are contained in Table 11.2
FIELD VECTORS AND POLARIZATION Dipole = di + pole Di = two Pole = rounded object Electric Dipole – is pair of point charge with equal magnitude and opposite in sign separated by a distance Electric Dipole Moment (p) – is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system. A vector that is directed from negative to positive . Where: q = magnitude of each dipole charge d = distance of separation between them
FIELD VECTORS AND POLARIZATION In the presence of an electric field, which is also a vector quantity, a force (or torque) will come to bear on an electric dipole to orient it with the applied field; The process of dipole alignment is termed polarization. Electric Field No Electric Field
FIELD VECTORS AND POLARIZATION Again, returning to the capacitor, the surface charge density D (also called dielectric displacement ), or quantity of charge per unit area of capacitor plate (C/ ), is proportional to the electric field E . When a vacuum is present, then the constant of proportionality being . Furthermore, an analogous expression exists for the dielectric case ; that is ,
TYPES OF POLARIZATION There are four types of polarization: Electronic Polarization Ionic Polarization Orientation Polarization Space Charge Polarization
TYPES OF POLARIZATION 1. Electronic Polarization Electronic polarization may be induced to one degree or another in all atoms. It results from a displacement of the center of the negatively charged electron cloud
TYPES OF POLARIZATION 2. Ionic Polarization Ionic polarization occurs only in materials that are ionic . An applied field acts to displace cations (+ charge) in one direction and anions (- charge ) in the opposite direction , which gives rise to a net dipole moment.
TYPES OF POLARIZATION 3 . Orientation Polarization Orientation polarization results from a rotation of the permanent moments into the direction of the applied field . It is found only in substances that possess permanent dipole moments .
TYPES OF POLARIZATION 3 . Orientation Polarization The total polarization P of a substance is equal to the sum of the electronic, ionic , and orientation polarizations ( Pe , Pi, and Po, respectively), or
TYPES OF POLARIZATION 4. Space Charge Polarization Also called ‘Interfacial’ or space charge polarization occurs when there is an accumulation of charge at an interface between two materials or between two regions within a material because of an external field.
FREQUENCY DEPENDENCE OF THE DIELECTRIC CONSTANT Relaxation Frequency – The frequency at which the dielectric loss factor reaches a maximum , for a dielectric material that has no static ( d.c. ) conductivity and that is subjected to an alternating electromagnetic field. Dielectric Loss – is the absorption of electrical energy by a dielectric material that is subjected to an alternating electric field. A low dielectric loss is desired at the frequency of utilization .
FREQUENCY DEPENDENCE OF THE DIELECTRIC CONSTANT Silicone rubber is usually a good choice for a buffer layer due to its very low dielectric loss factor , high dielectric constant, good mechanical properties, high dielectric strength, and durability after many welds .
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH Dielectric Strength also known as “ breakdown strength ”, represents the magnitude of an electric field necessary to produce breakdown.
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH Dielectric Breakdown – happens when very high electric fields are applied across dielectric materials which may suddenly excite large numbers of electrons to energies within the conduction band. As a result, the current through the dielectric by the motion of these electrons increases dramatically ; sometimes localized melting , burning , or vaporization produces irreversible degradation and perhaps even failure of the material.
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH If Voltage exceeds 250V Maximum Working Voltage: 250V Melted Capacitor Burnt Capacitor
DIELECTRIC MATERIALS A number of ceramics and polymers are used as insulators and/or in capacitors . Many of the ceramics, including glass, porcelain, steatite, and mica , have dielectric constants within the range of 6 to 10 (Table 11.2).
DIELECTRIC MATERIALS These materials also exhibit a high degree of dimensional stability and mechanical strength . Typical applications include power line and electrical insulation , switch bases , and light receptacles . Power line and electrical insulation Lightbulb socket switch base Light receptacles
DIELECTRIC MATERIALS The titania (TiO2) and titanate ceramics, such as barium titanate (BaTiO3) , can be made to have extremely high dielectric constants , which render them especially useful for some capacitor applications .
DIELECTRIC MATERIALS The dielectric loss is increased by the following factors: 1 . high frequency of the applied voltage 2 . high value of the applied voltage 3 . high temperature 4 . humidity
OTHER ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS Ferroelectricity The group of dielectric materials called ferroelectrics exhibit spontaneous polarization – that is, polarization in the absence of an electric field. Electric dipoles in a Ferroelectric material with no electric field Electric dipoles in a Ferroelectric material with electric field
OTHER ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS 2. Piezoelectricity Piezoelectricity is also called as “ pressure electricity .” It’s polarization is induced and an electric field is established across a specimen by the application of external forces . Examples of Piezoelectric Material Piezoelectric materials include titanates of barium and lead, lead zirconate (PbZrO3 ), ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH4H2PO4 ), and quartz. Buzzer Piezo plate
