In present work, the structural and dielectric properties of Pb1-xCuxZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PCxZT) ceramics where x = 0. 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 were studied. Powder of the compositions (PCxZT) was obtained by sol-gel route, the powders were calcined at 700 ºC for 4 h and sintered at 1100 ºC for 4 h. X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy suggest the formation of mixed-phase of tetragonal and rhombohedral structure which was confirmed by Rietveld refinement. Dielectric measurements of the compounds were studied as a function of temperature (from room temperature to 420 ºC at different frequencies) and as a function of frequency (from 100 Hz to 2 MHz at different temperatures). The temperature variation of the real permittivity gives evidence of the ferroelectric phase transition as well as of the resonance behaviour also observed in the dielectric permittivity frequency-dependent variation.

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.

Recently, researchers have shown great interest in improving the thermal, mechanical, dielectric, and microwave properties of pure polymers through the use of polymer-based composites. The essential properties of polymer-based composites can be modified by varying the amount of Zn/Al-NO3layered double hydroxide (LDH) added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Therefore, by determining the optimal ratio of LDH in the PVC matrix, the dielectric properties of PVC-LDH composites can be improved. An LDH was prepared using the coprecipitation method, while PVC-LDH composites were prepared using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent. The composites were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and room temperature dielectric measurements were investigated using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (Agilent 4291). The results confirmed that the prepared composites were pure. Additionally, the presence of LDH in the PVC matrix was verified. The dielectric measurements showed that an increase in the LDH concentration leads to an increase in the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor. When used as dielectric filler in the PVC matrix, the LDH improved the dielectric properties of the fabricated composites. The results indicate that these composites show great potential for use as microwave absorbers at low microwave frequencies.

Bismuth zinc niobate [(Bi1.5Zn0.5)(Nb1.5Zn0.5)O7, abbreviated as BZN] ceramics are receiving increasing attention due to their excellent dielectric properties in the microwave frequency range. This work is aimed at improving the fabrication technology of BZN ceramics. BZN ceramic specimens were prepared using the general electronic ceramic technique including milling, calcining, crushing, pressing, and sintering. Different sintering temperatures in the range of 950-1080°C were used to study how sintering temperature affects the structure and dielectric properties of BZN ceramics. The crystallinity and microstructure of the BZN ceramics, which were measured respectively by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, were improved with increasing of the sintering temperature. The frequency dependence of the dielectric constant and loss tangent was measured at room temperature from 1 kHz to 1 MHz. The dielectric properties of the specimen sintered at 1050°C were found to be the best, for which the relative permittivity (εr) and the loss tangent (tanδ) are around 146 and 0.005, respectively. It was also foεund that when the sintering temperature was higher than 1000°C, the εrand the tanδ of BZN ceramics sintered at different temperatures were similar. As a result, 1000°C may be an appropriate sintering temperature for BZN ceramics.

Spinal MgFe1.98Nd0.02O4 was prepared by simplified sol-gel method. To measure the dielectric properties samples were sintered from 700-800 oC in the steps of 50 oC. The sample’s phase purity, crystallographic phase and crystallite size was measured by X-ray diffraction method (XRD). The pellets were analyzed in Scanning Electron Microscope for their surface morphology and grain shape. Dielectric properties were measured from 20 Hz to 3 MHz at room temperature. Samples sintered at 750 oC, showed highest value of AC conductivity which indicated that the material is suitable for use in sensors. However, minimum value of dielectric loss factor was obtained at 800 and#176;C which makes it more suitable for antenna applications.

In this research, Barium titanate (BT) additive in lanthanum modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) was used to stabilize the PLZT ceramics. Oxide powders were synthesized by mixed oxide synthetic route via a rapid vibro-milling technique. It was prepared with the chemical formula of 0.95 Pb0.91La0.09 (Zr0.65Ti0.35)0.9775O3 -0.05 BaTiO3 to investigate the dielectric properties of PLZT ceramics. The modified PLZT ceramics were fabricated at variation of sintering temperatures of 1200-1275°C for 4 hours. By employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), it was found a pure perovskite with rhombohedral structure. The relaxor behavior was observed from the dielectric measurements. The suitable sintering temperature of 0.95 PLZT - 0.05 BT was 1275°C (εr=10463, tanδ=0.0125 and Tm=70°C).

Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 powders were prepared via a new sol-gel method with titanium oxide, strontium nitrate, and barium nitrate as raw materials. The microstructure and electrical properties were characterized by field scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and impedance analyser. When the PH = 4, n (CA): n (metal oins) = 3:1 and the synthesis temperature is 800 °C, Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 powders were obtained with good crystallinity. BST ceramics sintered at 1250 °C for 2h exhibited good dielectric properties (εr = 930, tanδ = 0.08) at room temperature and f =1 KHz. The relatively low sintering temperature and excellent dielectric properties would make these ceramics promising for applications in electronics.

Samples of CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (CCTO) ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed single phase formation for the powder calcined at 1173 K. Sintering was done at different temperatures viz. 1348 K, 1373 K and 1398 K with a fixed heating rate of 3 K/min. Detailed study of dielectric properties was carried out for the CCTO samples sintered at 1373 K for different duration of holding times (2 h and 10 h). It is found that dielectric properties are sensitive to both sintering time and temperature. With increasing sintering time from 2 h to 10 h dielectric constant increases from ∼2.1 × 104 to ∼2.5 × 104 measured at 1 kHz at room temperature. Impedance spectroscopy has been used for separating out of grain and grain boundary contributions to the overall electrical properties.

The extent of BiInO3 substitution in the perovskite system xBiInO3–(1 - x)PbTiO3 and the corresponding raise in the Curie temperature were investigated using thermal analysis, dielectric measurements, x-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. Maximum tetragonal perovskite distortion (c/a = 1.082) was obtained for x = 0.20, with a corresponding Curie temperature of 582 °C. Phase-pure tetragonal perovskite was obtained for x ⩽ 0.25. Compound formation after calcining mixed oxide powders resulted in agglomerated cube-shaped tetragonal perovskite particles, which could be fired to 94.7% of theoretical density (TD). Sol-gel fabrication resulted in nano-sized tetragonal or pseudo-cubic perovskite particles, which after two-step firing, resulted in a tetragonal perovskite microstructure at as high as (x = 0.20) 98.1% of TD.
