Lead zirconium titanate films (Pb (Zr,Ti) O3 or PZT) are being considered for potential application as dielectric films in memory technology due to their high dielectric constants. PZT is a ferroelectric material which shows spontaneous polarizability, reversible under applied electric fields. We report herein some results of TEM studies on thin film capacitor structures containing PZT films with platinum-titanium electrodes.The wafers had a stacked structure consisting of PZT/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate as shown in Figure 1. Platinum acts as electrode material and titanium is used to overcome the problem of platinum adhesion to the oxide layer. The PZT (0/20/80) films were deposited using a sol-gel method and the structure was annealed at 650°C and 800°C for 30 min in an oxygen ambient. XTEM imaging was done at 200KV with the electron beam parallel to <110> zone axis of silicon.Figure 2 shows the PZT and Pt layers only, since the structure had a tendency to peel off at the Ti-Pt interface during TEM sample preparation.

The problem of proton mobility has been considered in H2O–CH3OH, H2O–D2O, and H2O–H2O2 solvents from the current viewpoint of the mechanism of proton mobility for aqueous solutions. Mixed solvents are more complicated in that one must consider the relative basicity and acidity of the species competing for the protons. It is concluded that for dilute solutions of HClO4, where water is replaced by hydrogen peroxide, the decrease in equivalent conductance relative to that of KCl in the same solvent mixture is due to the partial elimination of the proton transfer process.For highly acidic non-aqueous solvents of high dielectric constants such as HF, HCN, and HCOOH, the problem of the weakness of the usual "strong" acids of aqueous solution makes a direct determination of the limiting equivalent conductances difficult. In the case of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride the available experimental evidence indicates that the limiting conductance of the lyonium ion is approximately the same as that of the potassium ion but the lyate ion has a higher limiting conductance than other stable anions.The higher proton mobility in ice leads one to expect that hydrogen-bonded systems may be found where the conductivity may approach that of electronic semiconductors.

We report on a bottom-up manufacturing for high-k dielectric films using a novel nanomaterial, namely, a perovskite nanosheet (LaNb2O7) derived from a layered perovskite by exfoliation. Solution-based layer-by-layer assembly of perovskite nanosheets is effective for room-temperature fabrication of high-k nanocapacitors, which are directly assembled on a SrRuO3 bottom electrode with an atomically sharp interface. These nanocapacitors exhibit high dielectric constants (k &gt; 50) for thickness down to 5 nm while eliminating problems resulting from the size effect. We also investigate dielectric properties of perovskite nanosheets with different compositions (LaNb2O7, La0.95Eu0.05Nb2O7, and Eu0.56Ta2O7) in order to study the influence of A- and B-site modifications on dielectric properties.

Abstract In this paper, additive manufacturing (3D printing) is used to fabricate and demonstrate a reusable microfluidic coupled rectangular cavity resonator for characterizing liquids in small volumes. The designed cavity operates in the fundamental TE101 mode and resonates at 4.12 GHz. The resonance of the cavity is perturbed by the sample placed in a small volume sample holder through a slot in the top cover. Two different perturbation configurations are investigated: i) strongly coupled (liquids with low to medium dielectric constants), and ii) weakly coupled (liquids with medium to high dielectric constant). The sample holder is loaded with different solvents and the shift in the resonance frequency is monitored. Based on these changes, the dielectric constant of the solvent is theoretically estimated and compared to standard values. The reusable liquid sensor holds significant potential in identifying and quantifying unknown liquid samples in the supply chain.

LixTixNi1-2xO (x =0, 10 and 20 at. %) thin films with 200 nm in thickness were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) by a sol-gel spin-coating method. All samples have a uniform microstructure. The grain sizes grew from 100 nm to 300 nm by co-doping Li and Ti. The LiTiNiO thin films consist of NiO, NiTiO3 and Li2NiO2, while the Li-free thin films consist of NiO, NiTiO3 and NiTi0.99O3. The dielectric properties of the LiTiNiO thin films improved obviously by co-doping Li and Ti, but excess Li increases the amount of Li2NiO2 phase and decreases the dielectric properties. The dielectric constants at 100 Hz for the Li0.1Ti0.1Ni0.8O and Li0.2Ti0.2Ni0.6O thin films are 506 and 388 respectively. Appropriate co-doping contents of Li and Ti are important to obtain a high dielectric property.

Different concentrations of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and carboxyl functionalized MWCNT (MWCNT-COOH) were added to a high melt strength polypropylene (HMS-PP) to produce foams with high dielectric constants, using azodicarbonamide (AZO) as blowing agent. The AZO foaming behavior and the crystallization, thermal properties, steady state and oscillatory shear rheological properties of the nanocomposites were analyzed by polarized light optical microscopy (PLOM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analyses (TGA) and parallel plate rheometry. The morphology, the dielectric and dynamic mechanical properties (DMTA) of the foams were also studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), impedance spectroscopy and bending method, respectively. A decrease in crystallite size and an increase in the HMS-PP overall crystallinity promoted by the presence of both types of MWCNTs was observed, as well as an increase in the crystallization temperatures. From these results and from the analyses of the rheological properties, it was possible to predict that the 5 wt.% MWCNT foam would have the lowest bubble growth rate, the 1.5 wt.% MWCNT-COOH the highest, while the 3 wt.% MWCNT-COOH composition would have the slowest bubble stability (and consequently the highest cellular density) and the 1.5 wt.% MWCNT-COOH the fastest. Also, it was possible to predict that only the 5 wt.% MWCNT-COOH foam would have a percolated and electrically conductive structure. All these predictions were confirmed by the resultant morphology and impedance spectroscopy results. The highest mechanical damping was displayed by the 3 wt.% MWCNT-COOH foam, while the lowest by the 5 wt.% MWCNT-COOH foam. Regarding the dielectric properties, the 1.5 wt% MWCNT-COOH foam was found to be the most suitable to be used as a capacitor material; this foam was also the less dense of all the samples.

Microwave dielectric ceramics with high quality have received attention due to the rapid progress in microwave telecommunication and satellite broadcasting. The desirable properties in microwave dielectric resonators are a high dielectric constant (εr), low dielectric loss (tanδ) (i.e. high Q (Q =1/tanδ)), and low temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency(τf). Properties of dielectric ceramics in the TiO2-rich region of the BaO-Nd2O3-TiO2 ternary system (Fig. 1) were reported to have excellent dielectric constants, low dielectric losses and low temperature coefficients of capacitance by Kolar et al. (1978).
