The results of measurements of dielectric constants, in the vicinity of ambient temperature, are presented for eight barium titanium niobium oxides (BaTi1+2nNb4O13+4n for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; Ba3Ti4Nb4O21, Ba3Ti5Nb6O28, and Ba6Ti2Nb8O30) in polycrystalline ceramic form. The dielectric constants are in the range of 30 to 70. The results of dielectric measurements on solid solutions obtained by partial substitution of Ta for Nb are also reported. These substitutions do not dramatically increase the dielectric constants. One material, Ta-substituted Ba3Ti5Nb6O28, has a very low temperature coefficient of dielectric constant at K ≈ 45.

To investigate the anisotropic dielectric properties of layer-structured bismuth-based ferroelectrics along different crystal directions, we fabricate devices along different crystal orientations using highly c-axis oriented Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 (BLT) thin films on (001) LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates. Experimental results have shown that the dielectric properties of the BLT films are highly anisotropic along different crystal directions. The dielectric constants (1MHz at 300 K) are 358 and 160 along [100] and [110], respectively. Dielectric nonlinearity is also detected along these crystal directions. On the other hand, a much smaller dielectric constant and no detectable dielectric nonlinearity in a field range of 0-200 kV/cm are observed for films along [001] when c-axis oriented SRO is used as the bottom electrode.

Abstract Crystallization kinetics and dielectric properties of a low-temperature, cofirable binary crystallizable glasses (CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CAS) and CaO-B2O3-SiO2 (CBS)) with alumina have been investigated. With alumina present, the bloating is minimized and wollastonite formed in the binary crystallizable glasses is replaced by anorthite. With increasing amount of anorthite formed in the ternary alumina+CAS glass+CBS glass dielectric composite, the dielectric constant remains relatively unchanged but the dielectric loss decreases as sintering is extended.

CaCu3Ti4O12(CCTO) is well known to have colossal dielectric constant in the range of 105.It is widely accepted that this phenomenon may be attributed to internal layer barrier capacitance (IBLC) model. The dielectric properties of CCTO were reported to be strongly dependent on the processing conditions and grain size. In this work, CCTO samples with different grain sizes were produced by varying sintering temperature in order to investigate IBLC effect on dielectric properties of CCTO. The samples were sintered at four different temperatures, (T=1100°C, 1050°C, 1000°C and 950°C). Dielectric measurements were carried out for the samples in the frequency range of 102– 106Hz using impedance spectrometer. Electron micrographs showed that increasing temperature promoted the grain growth of CCTO while sintering. The internal crystalline defects are seen to play major role by increasing the grain conductivity in dipole formation and increased the dielectric constant of the samples.

AbstractSingle phase BaxSr1−xTiO3 (BST) films (∼0.5-7 μm thick) have been deposited onto single crystal substrates (MgO, LaAlO3, SrTiO3) by pulsed laser deposition. Silver interdigitated electrodes were deposited on top of the ferroelectric film. The room temperature capacitance and dielectric Q (1/tanδ) of the film have been measured as a function of electric field (≤80 kV/cm) at 1 - 20 GHz. The dielectric properties of the film are observed to strongly depend on substrate type and post-deposition processing. After annealing (≤1000° C), it was observed that the dielectric constant and % tuning decreased and the dielectric Q increased for films deposited onto MgO, and the opposite effect was observed for films deposited onto LaA1O3. Presumably, this change in dielectric properties is due to the changes in film stress. Very thin (∼50 Å) amorphous BST films were successfully used as a stress-relief layer for the subsequently deposited crystalline BST (∼5000 Å) films to maximize % tuning and dielectric Q. Films have been deposited from stoichiometric targets and targets that have excess Ba and Sr. The additional Ba and Sr has been added to the target to compensate for deficiencies in Ba and Sr observed in the deposited BST (x=0.5) films. Films deposited from compensated targets have higher dielectric constants than films deposited from stoichiometric targets. Donor/acceptor dopants have also been added to the BST target (Mn, W, Fe ≤4 mol.%) to further improve the dielectric properties. The relationship between the dielectric constant, the dielectric Q, the change in dielectric constant with electric field is discussed.

AbstractDielectric properties have been measured for a series of porous and fully densified silica glasses, prepared by the sol-gel technique starting from Si-methoxide or Si-fume. The results for the partially densified glasses do not show any preferred orientation for porosity. When fully densified (˜2.25 gms/cc) without any prior treatment of the gels, they have dielectric constants of ≥ 6.5 and loss factors of 0.002 at 1 MHz, compared to values of 3.8 and <0.001 for commercial fused silica. There is no corresponding anomaly in the d.c. resistivity. Elemental carbon present to the extent of 400–500 ppm is likely to be the main cause for this enhanced dielectric constant. Extensive cleaning of the gels prior to densification to remove this carbon were not completely successful pointing to the difficulty in preparing high purity, low dielectric constant glasses via the organic sol-gel route at least in the bulk form.

The application of electromagnetic (EM) techniques to well logging is initiated in an environment dominated by the properties of the drilling fluids. An impulse technique using nanosecond pulses is applied to a coaxial waveguide containing drilling fluids to measure the velocity (dielectric constant ε) and absorption (attenuation coefficient α) of EM impulses. It is the large difference in dielectric constants of water and oil which makes EM propagation techniques attractive for logging. Dielectric properties of some nondispersed drilling fluids (bentonite and attapulgite clays) are found to be largely dependent upon the volume of water present. Both bentonite and attapulgite clays exhibit the same range of dielectric constants (ε = 81 → 75) when the weight percent of clay is increased to 10 percent. In contrast, the microwave attenuations of these two clays are quite different, with that of the bentonite increasing at about 4 times the rate of the attapulgite suspensions. Microwave attenuation measured for a variety of commercial drilling fluids varies over a wide range, with the lignosulfonates the largest (91 dB/m) and oil inverts the smallest (3 dB/m). The oil inverts also have a small dielectric constant (ε = 3 → 6). Temperature dependence of the attenuation for these same drilling fluids is determined in the range from 23 °C to 45 °C to indicate their behavior under in situ conditions.

The relationship between the character of the B-site cation–oxygen bond and the microwave dielectric properties in perovskites dielectric materials was studied in this paper. The atomic net charge of CaTiO3 (CT) and Ca(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (CZN) was calculated respectively. The calculating result implies that the covalency of B-O bonds in CZN is stronger than that in CT. This predicted that the dielectric constant and loss of the ceramics will decrease after CZN incorporated in CT. To confirme the prediction, (1-x)CT-xCZN microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method with ZnNb2O6 as precursor. The structure analysis in terms of tolerance factor gives an identical result as calculation. The microwave dielectric properties, such as dielectric constants, Q×f values and τf were studied as a function of composition. With x increasing from 0.2 to 0.8, the dielectric constant linearly decreases from 109 to 49.37, the Q×f value increases from 8,340 to 13,200 GHz, and τf decreases from 321 to -18 ppm/°C. The properties trends are consistent with the previous calculation results, and confirm the relationship between the character of B-O bond and dielectric properties.

ABSTRACTThin films of poly(p-phenylene biphenyltetracarboximide), prepared by thermal imidization of the precursor poly(amic acid) on substrates, have been investigated by optical waveguide, UV-visible, infrared (IR), and dielectric spectroscopies. The polyimide films exhibit an extraordinarily large anisotropy in the refractive indices with the in-plane index n║ = 1.852 and the out-of-plane index n┴ = 1.612 at 632.8 nm wavelength, indicating a strong preference of polymer chains to orient along the film plane. No discernible effect of the film thickness on this optical anisotropy is found in the range of ca. 0.4 μm to 7.8 μm in thickness. The frequency dispersion of the in-plane refractive index to 1.06 μm wavelength is consistent with the results calculated by the Lorentz-Lorenz equation from the UV-visible spectrum. The contribution from the entire IR range from 7000 to 200 cm,−1 computed by the Spitzer-Kleinmann dispersion relations from the measured spectra, adds ca. 0.07 to the in-plane refractive index n║. Approximately the same increase is assumed for the out-of-plane index n┴, based on the tilt-angle dependent IR results. Application of the Maxwell relation leads to the out-of-plane dielectric constant ε┴≃2.8 at ca. 1013 Hz, as compared with the measured value of ca. 3.0 at 106 Hz. Assuming this small difference to remain the same for the in-plane dielectric constants ε║, we obtain a a very large anisotropy in the dielectric properties of these polyimide films with the estimated in-plane dielectric constant ε║≃3.5 at ca. 1013 Hz, and ε.≃3.7 at 106 Hz.

A middle permittivity dielectrics with the tunable temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (τε) in the BaO-TiO2-Nb2O5 system, Ba3Ti5Nb6O28, has been synthesized and characterized. The dielectric properties of Ba3Ti5Nb6O28 measured at 1MHz are as follows: dielectric constant (εr) ~38, dielectric loss (tanδ)<0.0002, temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (τε)~-22ppm/°C. The Ba3Ti5Nb6O28 phase satisfies the requirements of NP0 (MLCC) dielectrics, but the sintering temperature of the Ba3Ti5Nb6O28 phase (1250~1300°C) is too high to be co-fired with Ag or Cu electrodes. To lower the sintering temperature, an appropriate amount of ZnO-B2O3 frit (5~7wt.%) was added to the Ba3Ti5Nb6O28 phase and dense ceramics were obtained at the sintering temperature lower than 1000°C. Furthermore, the CaNb2O6 phase with the positive τε of 65ppm/°C was incorporated into the Ba3Ti5Nb6O28 phase to adjust the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant from negative to positive(-22~30ppm/°C). Near zero τε ceramics with high εr (38) and low tanδ (0.0002) were obtained at the composition of Ba3Ti5Nb6O28/ CaNb2O6/ ZB frit=76:17:7 wt.%.
