scholarly journals Effect of Mn3O4 on the Dielectric Characteristics of Cdo - Mn3O4 Nanocomposites

Undoped CdO, Mn3O4 and CdO - Mn3O4 doped nanocomposites in the ratio 9:1, 8:2, 7:3 and 6:4 were successfully synthesized through thermal decomposition at high temperature by adopting the method of solid state reaction. powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was employed to carry out the structural characterization. It was found that as the concentration of Mn3O4 was increased the size of the prepared CdO-Mn3O4 composites has decreased. The change of various dielectric variables like dielectric loss (tanδ), dielectric constant (εr ) was determined. Moreover the change of ac conductivity (σac) with respect to frequency was carried out using LCR meter. It was found that these dielectric parameters have increased with respect to the temperature. It was also found that, with an increase in temperature the dc conductivity measurements for the prepared nano composites have also increased

SrBi1.8Ce0.2Nb2O9 (SBCN) and SrBi1.8Ce0.2Ta2O9 (SBCT) powders were prepared via solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the SBCN and SBCT powders have the single phase orthorhom-bic Aurivillius structure at room temperature. The contribution of Raman scattering and FTIR spectroscopy of these samples were relatively smooth and resemble each other. The calcined powders were uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1250?C for 8 h to obtaine dense ceramics. Dielectric constant, loss tangent and AC conductivity of the sintered Ce-doped SrBi2Nb2O9 and SrBi2Ta2O9 ceramics were measured by LCR meter. The Ce-doped SBN (SBCN) ceramics have a higher Curie temperature (TC) and dielectric constant at TC (380?C and ?? ~3510) compared to the Ce-doped SBT (SBCT) ceramics (330?C and ?? ~115) when measured at 100Hz. However, the Ce-doped SBT (SBCT) ceramics have lower conductivity and dielectric loss.

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.

Perovskite-based (1-x) (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-x NaNbO3 [(1-x) NBT-x NN, x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4] ceramics were sintered at 1080°C. Dielectric characteristics, crystalline structures, and Raman investigations were carried out on (1-x) (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-x NaNbO3 ceramics. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that NaNbO3 ceramic would form a solid solution with (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 ceramic, and and unknown or second phases were not observable as well. NaNbO3 ceramic diffused into the crystalline structure of (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 ceramic and (1-x) NBT-x NN ceramics still revealed a rhombohedral structure. The temperature-dielectric constant curves showed that as NN content increased, the temperature to reveal the maximum dielectric constant (Tm) was raised, the depolarization temperature (Td) was shifted to lower value, and the dielectric constant at Tm and the loss tangent at Td gradually decreased. The Raman bands at 770 and 830 cm-1 were attributed to the existence of the oxygen vacancies. In this study, the relaxor-type ferroelectric properties of NBT ceramic had been improved as NN ceramic was added.

AbstractThe crystal structure of (4E)-2-amino-3-cyanobenzo[b]oxocin-6-one, denoted as 4(E)-ACBO, was analyzed using X-ray diffraction technique. The dielectric and AC electrical conductivity measurements of the bulk 4(E)-ACBO in the form of pellet were studied in the range of frequency 42 Hz to 5 MHz and the temperature range of 303 K to 373 K. The temperature and frequency dependence of dielectric constant (∊1), dielectric loss (∊2) and AC electrical conductivity (σAC) were investigated. The relaxation time (τ) for electrons to hop over a barrier of height WH was calculated at different temperatures. The AC activation energy was determined from the temperature dependence of σAC at different frequencies.

Polycrystalline samples with the chemical formula CaCu3Ti4-xZrxO12(x=0, 0.02, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 0.1) CCTZO were synthesized from metal nitrate solutions by the sol-gel method, followed by conventional and microwave heat treatments. The X-ray diffraction pattern of powder calcined at 800°C in conventional furnace for 3 h showed formation of a single phase. The crystal structure did not change on doping with zirconium and it remained cubic in the five studied compositions. The surface morphology of samples sintered at 1000°C in microwave furnace for 10 min was observed using a high resolution scanning electron microscope (HR-SEM). The grain sizes were in the range of 250 nm–5 μm for these samples. HRSEM results show that doping with Zr enhanced grain growth or densification. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed the presence of Zr. The dielectric characteristics of Zr doped CCTO were studied with an LCR meter in the frequency range of 50 Hz–1 MHz. A very high dielectric constant 21,500 was observed for the sample doped with Zr (0.02 mol%) at 50 Hz.

Chiral three-dimensional Mg(ii) and Mn(ii) sulfates have been synthesized, well characterized and studied from first-principles calculations. High temperature X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and DFT calculations reveal that the structures of both the compounds remain intact even after the thermal decomposition of the ammonium ion.
