Highlights

  • Functional ceramic materials are of interest in many applications due to their structural and chemical richness and the huge range of physical properties that can be generated and modified by the control of the former

  • Crystalline ionic solids exhibit the unique feature of multiple charge carriers, electronic carriers, and cationic and anionic carriers, both intrinsically, i.e., as pure phase, and extrinsically, i.e., using the effect of dopants

  • Their contribution depends on ‘conduction’ mechanisms such as defect formation and interactions, migration paths and barriers, and band structures. This Special Issue focuses on highly conductive ceramics presenting multiple charge carriers

Introduction

1 Institute of Nanotechnology and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics, Gdansk University of Technology, Narutowicza 11/12, 80-233 Gdansk, Poland Functional ceramic materials are of interest in many applications due to their structural and chemical richness and the huge range of physical properties that can be generated and modified by the control of the former (electrical conductivity, thermo-mechanical properties, dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric properties, etc.). This Special Issue focuses on highly conductive ceramics presenting multiple charge carriers.
