Purpose The work was aimed at preparation of green tapes based on a new material Bi2/3CuTa4O12, to achieve spontaneously formation of an internal barrier layer capacitor (IBLC), fabrication of multilayer elements using low temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) technology and their characterization. Design/methodology/approach The study focused on tape casting, lamination and co-sintering procedures and dielectric properties of Bi2/3CuTa4O12 multilayer capacitors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) studies of the ceramic elements were performed. Impedance spectroscopy was used for characterization of dielectric properties in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz to −2 MHz and in the temperature range from −55 to 400°C. DC conductivity was investigated in the temperature range 20 to 740°C. Findings SEM observations revealed a good compatibility of the applied commercial Pt paste with the ceramic layers. The EDS microanalysis showed a higher content of oxygen at grain boundaries. The dominant dielectric response, which was recorded in the low frequency range and at temperatures above 0°C, was attributed to grain boundaries. The dielectric response at low temperatures and/or high frequencies was related to grains. The fabricated multilayer capacitors based on Bi2/3CuTa4O12 exhibited a high specific capacitance. Originality/value A new material Bi2/3CuTa4O12 was applied for preparation of green ceramic tapes and utilized for fabrication of multilayer ceramic capacitors using the LTCC technology. This material belongs to the group of high permittivity nonferroelectric compounds with a complex perovskite structure of CaCu3Ti4O12, that causes the spontaneously formation of IBLCs.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to create multilayer substrate (composite) from various low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates by their mutual combinations and to analyse influence of these multilayer substrates on dielectric properties in GHz frequency range. Design/methodology/approach GreenTape 951, GreenTape 9K7 and Murata LFC were used to create compound multilayer substrates that include three layers: middle layer is from Murata LFC, and both upper and bottom layers are either from GreenTape 951 or GreenTape 9K7. Shrinkage in all x-, y- and z-axes of all substrates including multilayer substrates were analysed, and influence of different shrinkage on dielectric properties was examined by microstrip ring resonators applied on all mentioned of substrates. Findings The middle layer of Murata LFC has significant influence on shrinkage value of composites which has a good repeatability and minimalizes problems with design of multilayer LTCC devices. Impact of middle layer from Murata LFC on dielectric constant is not significant, but on the other hand Q factor (loss tangent) of these composites is increased according to inhomogeneity between single LTCC layers, especially at frequency around 6 GHz. Originality/value The novelty of this work lies in creating multilayers systems from different types of LTCC substrates to find combination with the most suitable physical and dielectric properties for various purposes in GHz range applications.

ABSTRACTDielectric properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were measured over a frequency range of 10 KHz to 2.45 GHz and a temperature range of 20 to 110°C. Relaxation peaks were identified at 1) fixed frequency with variable temperatures, and 2) fixed temperature with variable frequencies. The crystallinity of poly (ethylene terephthalate) was measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Relationships between crystallinity, dielectric properties, and location of the dielectric relaxation peak on the frequency and temperature scales were studied for poly(ethylene terephthalate). Also, the dielectric loss factor decreases with increased crystallinity at 2.45 GHz and 4 GHz within the temperature range studied.

(ZnO)30(MgO)x(P2O5)70-x glasses of the composition x = 5, 8 and 13 mol % have been prepared by melt quenching technique. The dielectric permittivity (89) and loss factor (8:) were measured in the frequency range from 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz and in the temperature range 303 to 573 K . From the results there are evidence of dipolar relaxation occurring between 103 – 106 Hz while at low frequency the spectrum is dominated by dc conduction which manifested by the 1/@ slope of loss factor plot. Value of the relaxing frequency (@p) plotted against 1/T shows one electrical transportation mechanism. The empirical data was sufficiently fitted by using Harviliak-Negami equation.

Air-hydrate inclusions have been found in deep ice cores from Dye 3, Greenland, which were taken in August 1981. Although the concentration of the air-hydrate crystals decreased with time, when the core was stored at a temperature of −50 °C, they still existed to an appreciable extent in 1985. An ice specimen was cut out from the Dye 3 core at a depth of 1500 m, where the volume fraction of the hydrate crystals was about 10−3 by volume. Its dielectric properties were measured in September 1985, in a frequency range of 30-20 × 103 Hz and temperature range of −20° to −90°C. The activation energy obtained for the relaxation time of the Debye dispersion was about 0.2 eV, which is much smaller than that of pure ice. The measurement was repeated once a month for about a year, and the sample was stored at a temperature of −10 °C between measurements. The time variation of the dielectric properties has been discussed in relation to the deterioration of the air-hydrate crystals.

Abstract The dielectric properties of water-in-oil (W/O) suspensions have been studied by means of the depolarization thermocurrent (DTC) method in the temperature range of 85-250 K. Two predominant peaks have been observed at about 140 and 225 K. Evidence has been obtained that the peak at 140 K and the dielectric absorption observed by many investigators at sub-zero temperatures in the kHz frequency range are due to the same relaxation mechanism.

CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramics were prepared by cold isostatic press (CIP) forming combined with the conventional sintering method. The effects of calcining temperature on properties of CCTO ceramics were investigated. The dielectric properties as the function of temperature at typical frequencies were measured in the temperature range from 243 to 363 K. In addition, the dielectric properties and complex impedances at room temperature were analyzed in a frequency range from 20 Hz to 106 Hz. The results showed that CCTO ceramics with dielectric constant higher than 104 were obtained. Compared with the dry press forming, CCTO ceramics prepared by CIP had more homogeneous grains, less porosity and better dielectric properties.
