Abstract Goal of the present research was to study immittance properties of BiNbO4 ceramics fabricated by the solid state reaction route followed by pressureless sintering. Four sets of samples were examined, namely the one fabricated from the stoichiometric mixture of oxides, viz. Bi2O3 and Nb2O5 as well as the ones with an excess of 3%, 5% and 10% by mole of Bi2O3. The immittance properties were studied by impedance spectroscopy. Measurements were carried out within the frequency range ν =20Hz-1MHz and temperature range T =RT-550°C. The Kramers-Kronig data validation test was employed in the impedance data analysis. It was found that complex impedance first increases with an increase in Bi2O3 content and decreases for 10mol% excess of Bi2O3. Two relaxation phenomena manifested themselves at elevated temperature (T>267°C) within the measuring frequency range. The conductivity relaxation phenomenon (M″(ν) spectra) took place at higher frequency than the phenomenon with dominant resistive component (Z″(ν) spectra).

Abstract Goal of the present research was to investigate the influence of V2O5 additive on the structure and dielectric properties of BiNbO4 ceramics. To fabricate BiNbO4 ceramics with V2O5 added the solid state reaction route and pressureless sintering was utilized. Thus obtained ceramics was characterized in terms of its microstructure (SEM), chemical composition (EDS), phase composition and crystalline structure (X-ray phase and structural analysis, respectively). Also dielectric properties in both temperature and frequency domains were investigated. The impedance spectroscopy was utilized for dielectric characterization and the measurements of complex impedance were performed within the frequency range ν =10Hz-1MHz and temperature range T =RT-550°C. It was found that V2O5 additive changed slightly lattice parameters of BiNbO4 ceramics, decreased porosity of samples and revealled relaxation phenomena within the frequency ranges ν =102-103 Hz and ν =105-106 Hz at temperature T>285°C.

Electric Behavior

Results of studies focusing on the electric behavior of Bi6Fe2Ti3O18 (BFTO) ceramics are reported. BFTO ceramics were fabricated by solid state reaction methods. The simple oxides Bi2O3, TiO2, and Fe2O3 were used as starting materials. Immittance spectroscopy was chosen as a method to characterize electric and dielectric properties of polycrystalline ceramics. The experimental data were measured in the frequency range Δν = (10−1–107) Hz and the temperature range ΔT = (−120–200) °C. Analysis of immittance data was performed in terms of complex impedance, electric modulus function, and conductivity. The activation energy corresponding to a non-Debye type of relaxation was found to be EA = 0.573 eV, whereas the activation energy of conductivity relaxation frequency was found to be EA = 0.570 eV. An assumption of a hopping conductivity mechanism for BFTO ceramics was studied by ‘universal’ Jonscher’s law. A value of the exponents was found to be within the “Jonscher’s range” (0.54 ≤ n ≤ 0.72). The dc-conductivity was extracted from the measurements. Activation energy for dc-conductivity was calculated to be EDC = 0.78 eV, whereas the dc hopping activation energy was found to be EH = 0.63 eV. The obtained results were discussed in terms of the jump relaxation model.

Abstract Goal of the present research was to fabricate BiNbO4 ceramics from the mixture of powders by the solid state reaction route and pressureless sintering at various temperatures (TS =8700C and TS =9100C) and study microstructure, phase composition and crystalline structure of BiNbO4 ceramics. Four batches were fabricated and examined, namely the one fabricated from the stoichiometric mixture of reagent - grade oxide powders, viz. Bi2O3 and Nb2O5 as well as the ones with an excess of 3%, 5% and 10% by mole of Bi2O3. It was found that apart from the main orthorhombic -BiNbO4 phase additional phases, namely tetragonal Bi5Nb3O15, and cubic Bi3NbO7 are possible to form from the mixture of bismuth oxide and niobium oxide. It was found that -BiNbO4 ceramics exhibited the orthorhombic symmetry identified as Pnna (52). However, small differences in elementary cell parameters were found for the samples sintered from stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric mixture of initial powders.

The results of impedance measurements on a low-conducting 0�40Ag20: 060P20S glass are reported in the frequency range 10-3 to 105 Hz and the temperature range 250 to 400 K. The observed dispersions in the complex impedance data are attributed to a barrier effect in the region of the electrodes and are shown to follow simple power law behaviour for low and high frequencies with respect to the loss peak frequency. Using the complex impedance and complex capacitance data, the contact resistance and the corresponding contact capacitance have been worked out. The temperature dependences of the contact resistance R. and the contact capacitance C. are also reported. The activation energy for this glass is found to be 0�50�O�02 eV.

Considered the model of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) with double defects, the refractive indexes (n2’, n3’ and n2’’, n3’’) of the double defects were 2.0, 4.0 and 4.0, 2.0 respectively. With parameter n2=1.5, n3=2.5, by theoretical calculations with characteristic matrix method, the results shown that for a certain number (14 was taken) of layers of the 1-D PCs, when the double defects abutted, there was a defect band gap in the stop band gap, while when the double defects separated, there occurred two defect band gaps in the stop band gap; besides, with the separation of the two defects, the transmittance of the double defect band gaps decreased gradually. In addition, in this progress, the frequency range of the stop band gap has a little increase from 0.092 to 0.095.

In this work magnetoimpedance (MI) behaviour was studied experimentally for Fe19Ni81(175 nm)/Cu(350 nm)/Fe19Ni81(175 nm) sensitive elements deposited by rf-sputtering. A constant magnetic field was applied in plane of the sandwiches during deposition perpendicular to the Cu-lead in order to induce a magnetic anisotropy. Sandwiches with different width (w) of FeNi parts were obtained. The complex impedance was measured as a function of the external magnetic field for a frequency range of 1 MHz to 700 MHz for MI elements with different geometries. Some of MI experimental data are comparatively analysed with finite elements numerical calculations data. The obtained results can be useful for optimization of the design of miniaturized MI detectors.

IR Transparent ZnS ceramics processed through chemical vapour deposition were subjected to Hot Isostatic pressing and the samples in both the conditions were characterized by XRD, microstructure and high temperature impedance spectroscopic studies for the dielectric and electrical properties. Both the samples have shown cubic sphalerite phase with enhanced orientation along (111) plane as a result of hot isostatic pressing as revealed by XRD.HIP treatment to ZnS facilitated the enhancement of the homogeneity of microstructure and enhancement in the grain size from 10μm to 50μm. The electrical behavior of both the samples was investigated by AC impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range 1Hz to 1MHz from RT to 500°C in dry air. HIP has resulted in a significant increase in the dielectric constant, which can be attributed to the increase in homogeneity and the grain size. Further, the complex impedance plots exhibited two impedance semicircles identified in the frequency range is explained by the grain and grain boundary effects. An equivalent-circuit analysis of AC impedance spectra based on the brick-layer model was performed. Activation energies obtained from the conductivity plots indicates an Arrhenius type thermally activated process.

Mechanical impedances between 4 and 64 Hz of the respiratory system in dogs have been reported (A.C. Jackson et al. J. Appl. Physiol. 57: 34–39, 1984) previously by this laboratory. It was observed that resistance (the real part of impedance) decreased slightly with frequency between 4 and 22 Hz then increased considerably with frequency above 22 Hz. In the current study, these impedance data were analyzed using nonlinear regression analysis incorporating several different lumped linear element models. The five-element model of Eyles and Pimmel (IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng. 28: 313–317, 1981) could only fit data where resistance decreased with frequency. However, when the model was applied to these data the returned parameter estimates were not physiologically realistic. Over the entire frequency range, a significantly improved fit was obtained with the six-element model of DuBois et al. (J. Appl. Physiol. 8: 587–594, 1956), since it could follow the predominate frequency-dependent characteristic that was the increase in resistance. The resulting parameter estimates suggested that the shunt compliance represents alveolar gas compressibility, the central branch represents airways, and the peripheral branch represents lung and chest wall tissues. This six-element model could not fit, with the same set of parameter values, both the frequency-dependent decrease in Rrs and the frequency-dependent increase in resistance. A nine-element model recently proposed by Peslin et al. (J. Appl. Physiol. 39: 523–534, 1975) was capable of fitting both the frequency-dependent decrease and the frequency-dependent increase in resistance. However, the data only between 4 and 64 Hz was not sufficient to consistently determine unique values for all nine parameters.

A computer model and numerical method for calculating left epicardial coronary blood flow has been developed. This model employs a finite-branching geometry of the coronary vasculature and the one-dimensional, unsteady equations for flow with friction. The epicardial coronary geometry includes the left main and its bifurcation, the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries, and a selected number of small branches. Each of the latter terminate in an impedance, whose resistive component is related to intramyocardial compression through a linear dependence on left ventricular pressure. The elastic properties of the epicardial arteries are taken to be non-linear and are prescribed by specifying the local small-disturbance wave speed. The model allows for the incorporation of multiple stenoses as well as aorto-coronary bypasses. Calculations using this model predict pressure and flow waveform development and allow for the systematic investigation of the dependence of coronary flow on various parameters, e.g., peripheral resistance, wall properties, and branching pattern, as well as the presence of stenoses and bypass grafts. Reasonable comparison between calculations and earlier experiments in horses has been obtained.
