Barium-doped Ca2Nb2O7 ceramics were prepared in the form of Ca[Formula: see text]BaxNb2O7 (0 [Formula: see text] 0.6) by solid-state reaction. The solubility limit of barium in Ca2Nb2O7 was found to be [Formula: see text] based on X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analysis. When [Formula: see text] 0.4, Ca[Formula: see text]BaxNb2O7 solid solutions with a monoclinic perovskites-like layered structure (PLS) were formed, whereas beyond [Formula: see text], a secondary phase CaNb2O6 was detected. The dielectric properties obviously depended on the barium substitution. With increasing barium amount, the dielectric constant increased from 33.5 for pure Ca2Nb2O7 to 38.6 for [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]MHz). The Curie temperature ([Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text] sample was 1280[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]5[Formula: see text]C. The phase transition was confirmed to be the second order.

Structural and dielectric properties of Ce-doped BaTi[Formula: see text]Y[Formula: see text]O3 powders, with the chemical formulation (Ba[Formula: see text]Ce[Formula: see text](Ti([Formula: see text]- Y[Formula: see text]O3 such as [Formula: see text] = 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%, produced by the sol–gel method, have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that Ce[Formula: see text] ions incorporated Ba sites until [Formula: see text]= 7% indicating that this concentration represents a solubility limit of Ce[Formula: see text] ions in BaTi[Formula: see text]Y[Formula: see text]O3 matrix. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed a decrease in grain size down to the same concentration of 7%. Raman spectroscopy analysis showed the appearance of A[Formula: see text] mode, which we attributed to the effect of incorporation of Ce[Formula: see text] and Y[Formula: see text] in BaTiO3 matrix. Dielectric measurements revealed that doping with cerium lowers the temperature of permittivity maximum at the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric transition (FPT) of the BaTi[Formula: see text]Y[Formula: see text]O3 sample, and reaches a value that should be below 40[Formula: see text]C for [Formula: see text]= 9%. Moreover, the phenomenon of dielectric resonance was observed on all Ce-doped samples, which was not the case with other dopants as reported in the literature.

Ba(Zrx Ti1-x)O3 ceramics (X=1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) were prepared by solid-state reaction method. Effect of controlling the ratio of Zr/Ti on the crystal structure, micromorphology and dielectric properties of BZT ceramics. Their crystal structures, morphologies, and electric properties were respectively characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and impedance analyzer. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the zirconium titanate ceramic samples behave cubic phase structure and no secondary phase. The ratio of Zr/Ti has a great influence on the crystal structure, microstructure and dielectric properties. As the Zr4+ content increases, the lattice constant increases and the grain size decreases. The dielectric constant is the largest when the Zr content is 15%. As the Zr4+ content increases, the dielectric constant decreases gradually, and the Curie temperature moves toward the low temperature region.

Effect of co-doping two different elements and incorporating SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN) on structure and field-stability of dielectric properties in PMNT ceramics were investigated. Single-phase cubic Perovskite structure is more easily obtained by appropriate co- doping of La3+ and Zn2+. X-ray diffraction patterns of PMNT/SBN composite showed that there is no SBN grains in PMNT/SBN as a secondary phase. Co-doping of La3+ and Zn2+ as well as incorporation of SBN markedly increased the field-stability of dielectric constant. The mechanism of improving field-stability was tentatively discussed.

The 0.98BaTiO3-0.02Ba (Mg1/3Nb2/3) O3ceramics has been synthesized through a conventional mixed-oxide by using BT nanopowder and BMN micropowder. The phase purity of the powders and the ceramics was examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The 0.98BT-0.02BMN powders were sintered to 92% of the theoretical density at a temperature of 1300 °C for 2 h. The microstructure of the sintered surface was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The dielectric constant (εr) and loss factor (tanδ) of the sintered pellets at Curie temperture were 3000 and 0.015, respectively.

Lead free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) and (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3)1-x(CaTiO3)x (NBT-CT) piezoelectric ceramics with the perovskite structure were studied. The NBT and NBT-CT samples were synthesized using a solid-state reaction method and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and dielectric measurements for several compositions (x = 0, 0.07, 0.15) at room temperature. The XRD analysis showed a stabilization of a rhombohedral phase at a low concentration of Ca (0 < x <0.15), whereas Raman spectra reveal a strong modification for the sample with x = 0.15. The dielectric properties of these ceramics were studied by measuring impedance in the 79-451K temperature range for unpoled and field cooling with an electric field (FC) conditions.

Ceramics of (1-x)CaCu3Ti4O12-xBi2/3Cu3Ti4O12, i.e., CCTO-BCTO, with x=0, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.25, respectively, were prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction. The phase structure of the ceramics was identified by X-ray diffraction. The microstructure of the sample was observed with scanning electron microscopy. Dielectric properties and impedance spectroscopy were measured using a LCR Meter, in which 0.9CCTO-0.1BCTO displayed highest dielectric constant (584108) and lowest dielectric loss (0.42) at 1kHz among the four kinds of specimens. Based on series of experimental results, an optimum amount of x was able to improve the dielectric properties of CCTO-BCTO, through adjusting the impedance characteristics of the grain and grain boundary.

AbstractMg0:95Ni0:05Ti0:98Zr0:02O3 ceramics was prepared via conventional solid-state mixed-oxide route. The phase, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of the sintered samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a vector network analyzer. The microstructure comprised of circular and elongated plate-like grains. The semi quantitative analysis (EDS) of the circular and elongated grains revealed the existence of Mg0:95Ni0:05T2O5 as a secondary phase along with the parent Mg0:95Ni0:05Ti0:98Zr0:02O3 phase, which was consistent with the XRD findings. In the present study, εr ~17.1, Qufo~195855 ± 2550 GHz and τf ~ -46 ppm/K was achieved for the synthesized Mg0:95Ni0:05Ti0:98Zr0:02O3 ceramics sintered at 1325 °C for 4 h.

The structure and property of Ce-doped Ba0.2Sr0.8TiO3 (BST) were investigated as a function of Ce content. The density experiment results confirmed that increasing the Ce doping ratio caused the decrease in shrinkage factor of BST in the sintering procedure. Additionally, both Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the grain size of Ce-doped BST was dependent on the Ce content. Further more, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss had a curve relationship with increasing Ce content. The improvement of the electrical properties of Ce doping BST may be related to the decrease in the concentration of oxygen vacancies. According to the research, the diameter of grain, the dielectric constant and loss factor of the 1mol% Ce-doped Ba0.2Sr0.8TiO3 were 500nm, 365.8 and 0.0063, respectively.

CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics doped with 0-2.0 wt% Li2CO3 were prepared by the solid-state reaction, and their electric and dielectric properties were investigated. It is found that these ceramics had the properties of high dielectric constant and comparatively low dielectric loss. At the doping amount of 0.5 wt%, the dielectric constant is kept to be 105 with weak frequency dependence below 105 Hz, and its loss tangent (tan δ) is suppressed below 0.1 between 300 Hz-5 kHz (with the minimum value of 0.06 at 1 kHz from 218 K to 338 K). The impedance spectroscopy analysis confirms that the decrease of dielectric loss is mainly due to the increase of resistance in the grain boundary, which may be related to the influence of Ti4O7 secondary phase. Our result indicates that doping Li2CO3 is an efficient method to optimize the dielectric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12.

Abstract In this study, the production of a technical porcelain, for the ceramic dielectric applications by using economical natural raw materials, was investigated. The basic porcelain composition was selected consisting of 30 wt% kaolin, 45 wt% potash-feldspar and 25 wt% quartz. The obtained phases in the sintered samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, and scanning electron microscopy images. It has been confirmed by these techniques that the main crystalline phases were quartz and mullite. Dielectric measurements of technical porcelains have been carried out at 1 kHz from room temperature to 200 °C. The dielectric constant, loss factor, dielectric loss tangent, and resistivity of the porcelain sample sintered at 1160 °C were 22-25, 0.32-1.80, 0.006-0.07, and 0.2-9 x 1013 Ω.cm, respectively. The value of dielectric constant was significantly high when compared to that of conventional porcelains which did not exceed generally 9.
