Complex rare-earth zirconates (Gd0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2(Zr1-xCex)2O7 (x=0, 0.3, 0.4) powders were synthesized by co-precipitation method. XRD and SEM results revealed that the complex rare-earth zirconates with single pyrochlore structure were prepared and no other phases existed among the grains. The dielectric properties of these compounds were investigated at low and microwave frequencies. It was found that they have intermediate dielectric constants and low dielectric loss in the whole frequency region, and they show the dielectric permittivity with weak frequency dependence. Substituting Zr4+ by Ce4+ leaded to smaller permittivity. Meanwhile, the dielectric contant values increase with increasing in the r(A3+)/r(B4+) value in the pyrochlore-type phase region, which can be explained by the increase in the degree of ordering of oxygen vacancy. This new series of pyrochlore type oxides would be potential candidates for electronic ceramic applications and microwave frequency components.

Abstract: In this work, samples of zinc oxide nanoparticles doped by molybdenum (Zn1-xMoxO with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) were prepared by using the wet co-precipitation method. The characterization of the prepared samples was carried out by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The samples reserved their hexagonal wurtzite structure with Mo doping and showed a decrease in the crystallite size up to x = 0.04 followed by a further increase. On the other hand, dielectric measurements were performed using an LCR meter. The effect of frequency and temperature on the dielectric properties such as the real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant (ε^' and ε'', respectively), dielectric loss (tanδ) and ac-conductivity (σ_ac) of Mo-doped zinc oxide samples, was studied in the frequency range (100 Hz - 1 MHz) and at temperatures (300 - 773 K). The values of room temperature dielectric parameters were found to be strongly dependent on the Mo-doping. However, the increase in temperature caused an enhancement in the values of the dielectric parameters, particularly at 773 K. Keywords: Zinc oxide, XRD, Dielectric constants, Ac-conductivity.

AbstractThe structure and dielectric properties of rare earth niobate compounds within the Ln3NbO7 (Ln = Nd, Gd, Dy, Er, Yb and Y) and Ln2(Ln',Nb)O7 (Ln = Nd, Sm and Ln' = Yb) series are investigated. The crystal structure of the all the studied materials is found to be fluorite-related including webertite-type, pyrochlore, and defect fluorite structures. It is observed that the relative permittivity of the defect fluorite Ln3NbO7 (Ln = Dy, Er, Yb and Y) increases with the increase in temperature and exhibits low dielectric loss up to approximately 350 K. Above 350 K, the dielectric loss increases rapidly with increasing temperature as the onset of electrical conductivity takes place. Of particular interests are Gd3NbO7 and Nd3NbO7, which exhibit a frequency and temperature dependent dielectric relaxation behavior. At 1 MHz Gd3NbO7 reaches its maximum relative permittivity of ∼34 at about 330K, while at the same frequency, the maximum relative permittivity of Nd3NbO7 is attained at about 500 K. By contrast, Nd2(Yb,Nb)O7 and Sm2(Yb,Nb)O7, which crystallize in a pyrochlore-type structure, do not show dielectric relaxation and, comparatively, exhibit a more temperature-stable dielectric permittivity response.

Abstract: M-type Barium Hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) is a promising compound for technological applications because of its high permeability, high saturation magnetization and excellent dielectric properties. In this study, the microstructure and dielectric properties of CoxBaFe12O19Hexaferrite were investigated. The co-precipitation method was employed to prepare CoxBaFe12O19 nanoparticles, with x = 0, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.1 wt. %, at two different calcination temperatures (900oC and 950oC). The microstructure of the samples was examined through X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The hexagonal structure of the prepared samples was confirmed from XRD results. TEM images reveal the formation of agglomerated nanoparticles with different size distribution. The dielectric properties of the samples were studied through HIOKI 3532-50 LCR-Hi TESTER as a function of frequency (100 kHz–3MHz) and temperature (25 °C–500°C). The effects of Co addition, frequency and temperature on the dielectric constants (ɛʹ and ɛʹʹ), loss tangent (tan δ) and ac conductivity (σac) have been explained on the basis of hopping of electrons between Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. Keywords: BaFe12O19 Hexaferrite, Co-precipitation method, XRD, Dielectric properties.

Pyrochlore-type Pb2FeWO6.5 is difficult to be sintered without applied pressure at temperatures lower than its decomposition temperature. Through hot pressing or hot isostatic pressing processes, densification of specimens is greatly enhanced; moreover, grain growth during sintering is effectively suppressed. Densified Pb2FeWO6.5 exhibits paraelectric characteristic from −135°to −2 °C with low dielectric constants and low dissipation factors. The dielectric constants show rather weak dependence of temperature and frequency.

Dielectric permittivity has been an important property of binary and mixed semiconductor materials as it is closely related to the studies on polarization and relaxation mechanisms. Therefore, dielectric properties of (CdSe)1-X(ZnS)X mixed semiconductors are studied at different frequencies. The mixed semiconductor samples used in the study are grown by controlled co-precipitation method. From these studies ac conductivity, static and optical dielectric constants, relaxation times and activation energy of dipole relaxation are determined. The variation of dielectric constant with frequency and composition of the sample was explained on the basis of Koops grain boundary mechanism.

The precursor prepared by co-precipitation method was sintered at various temperatures to synthesize crystalline manganese tungstate (MnWO4). Sintered MnWO4 showed the best crystallinity at a sintering temperature of 800 °C. Rare earth ion (Dysprosium; Dy3+) was added when preparing the precursor to enhance the magnetic and luminescent properties of crystalline MnWO4 based on these sintering temperature conditions. As the amount of rare earth ions was changed, the magnetic and luminescent characteristics were enhanced; however, after 0.1 mol.%, the luminescent characteristics decreased due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. In addition, a composite was prepared by mixing MnWO4 powder, with enhanced magnetism and luminescence properties due to the addition of dysprosium, with epoxy. To one of the two prepared composites a magnetic field was applied to induce alignment of the MnWO4 particles. Aligned particles showed stronger luminescence than the composite sample prepared with unsorted particles. As a result of this, it was suggested that it can be used as phosphor and a photosensitizer by utilizing the magnetic and luminescent properties of the synthesized MnWO4 powder with the addition of rare earth ions.
