The CaTiO3samples were prepared by high-energy ball milling process followed by sintering process from 1040 to 1200°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), microstructural analysis, and dielectric properties over a wide range of frequency varying from 0.01 Hz to 1 GHz at room temperature were investigated. The formation of a single phase CaTiO3with orthorhombic structure was achieved at 1120°C and above. From a morphological point of view, sintering temperature promoted grain growth. Dielectric properties in the frequency range 0.01 Hz - 1 MHz revealed a relaxation-type process. Interfacial phenomena were the possible physical mechanisms that gave rise to these relaxation-type plots. Extending the frequencies above ~1 MHz yielded a frequency-independent characteristic of dielectric constant (ε'). These turned out to the relatively small dielectric loss (tan δ) values. The origin of the dielectric responses in the frequency range 1 MHz - 1 GHz was attributed to the domination of dipolar polarization. The grain size effect in sintered CaTiO3samples was prominent, notably in dielectric responses above ~1 MHz. Increase in sintering temperature remarkably led to an enhancement in dielectric constant values and reduction in dielectric loss values. Therefore, a significant correlation existed between microstructural features and dielectric properties.

The behavior of dielectric and microwave properties against sintering temperature was been carried out on CaO-B2O3-SiO2glass-ceramics with Na2O addition by XRD and SEM. The results show that 0.5 wt.% Na2O addition is advantageous to improve the dielectric and microwave properties due to increasing the major crystalline CaSiO3. With further increasing Na2O content, α-SiO2is the predominant crystalline phase instead of CaSiO3. The CBS glass-ceramics with 0.5 wt.% Na2O sintered at 875°C has a bulk density of 2.51g·cm-3, and which possesses good dielectric properties:εr=6.2,tanδ=1.9×10-3(10 MHz) and low dielectric constant below 2×10-3over a wide frequency range. The proposed dielectrics can find applications in microwave devices, which require low dielectric loss and low dielectric constant.

Sr - doped NiO ceramic was prepared using solid state method. The calcination temperature used at 950 oC for 4 hours and the sintering temperatures was varied from 1100 to 1300 oC for 3 hours. The results depict the microstructures increasing in grains size (1-8 μm) by increase of sintering temperatures. The density and porosity testing support the result of microstructures analysis. The larger grains size induced the increase in density and lower in porosity. The dielectric properties is observed in a wide frequency range of (1 - 1 000 MHz). The increase of dielectric constant is associated with the decrease of dielectric loss. The optimum sintering temperature was obtained at 1200 oC depict the grain size range (1 - 2 μm) with highest dielectric constant (1.61 x 103) and lowest dielectric loss (1.15) at 1MHz.

Abstract The quality of agricultural products can be remotely sensed and enhanced by determining the dielectric properties. This paper studies the dielectric properties of banana leaf and banana peel over the frequency range 1–20 GHz using the open-ended coaxial probe (OCP) method. A new curve fitting model is proposed to characterize the dielectric properties of banana leaf and banana peel. The different moisture content (MC) levels are considered for both banana leaf and banana peel samples and, their dielectric properties are characterized. Further, the banana leaf and banana peel’s measurement data are compared with the data obtained using the proposed model. In addition, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and R-squared (R 2) are calculated to validate the performance of the proposed model. In case of banana leaf at 68.26% MC, the dielectric constant achieves the value of R 2 and RMSE of 0.98 and 0.0648, respectively. Similarly, dielectric loss achieves the value of R 2 and RMSE of 0.88 and 0.0795, respectively. Further, for banana peel at 80.89% MC, the dielectric constant achieves the value of R 2 and RMSE of 0.99 and 0.2989, respectively. Similarly, dielectric loss achieves the value of R 2 and RMSE of 0.96 and 0.6132, respectively.

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.

Dielectric properties of Eucalyptus urophylla wood were measured by using a network analyzer over an ultrawide frequency range between 0.2 GHz and 20 GHz. The effects of moisture content (MC), temperature and frequency on the dielectric permittivity and the dielectric loss factor of Eucalyptus urophylla were investigated along different grain directions. The results showed that the dielectric permittivity along with the dielectric loss factor increased significantly with the elevation in MC. At the frequency of 2380 MHz with the MC increasing from 0% to 100%, the dielectric permittivity along different grain directions (including longitudinal, radial and tangential directions) increased by 180%, 110% and 112%, respectively, while the loss factor along these three directions increased by 1642%, 3703% and 5058%, respectively. In addition, the increase in dielectric properties of Eucalyptus urophylla wood was determined with the temperature elevating. When the temperature elevated from 20 °C to 140 °C, the dielectric permittivity at 2380 MHz along the longitudinal, radial and tangential directions, increased by 19%, 14% and 15%, respectively, while the loss factor increased by 133% at most. As the radio frequency increased, the dielectric permittivity of wood decreased. Regression equations satisfactorily described the dielectric properties of wood along different grain directions with different moisture contents.

The Mg2SiO4-MgTiO3-CaTiO3 composite dielectric ceramics with different Mg2SiO4 addition amounts were prepared by solid state reaction method. The effects of Mg2SiO4 addition amounts on the microstructure and dielectric properties as well as sintering temperature of xMg2SiO4-(0.95-x)MgTiO3-0.05CaTiO3 (abbreviated as xMSTC, 0.25≦x≦0.75) composite ceramics were investigated. The results indicated that the sintering temperature of MgTiO3-CaTiO3 based ceramics with Mg2SiO4 addition could be lowered effectively to 1320~1340°C, and the dielectric constant decreased and dielectric loss increased gradually with the increase of Mg2SiO4 content. The 0.45MSTC ceramics containing 45 wt% Mg2SiO4 and sintered at 1340°C showed desirable dielectric properties with dielectric constant εr=13.3,dielectric loss tanδ=4.5×10-4 and temperature coefficient of relative permittivity τε =10 ppm/°C.

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.%.

Abstract The present paper studied the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and ac conductivity of fenugreek seed, a medicinal seed (Trigonella foenum graecum), within the frequency range of 10 kHz and 10 MHz and the temperature range of 30°C and 50°C. Impedance gain/phase analyser (HP 4194 A) was used to measure the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss and Julabo (temperature controller, F-25, Germany) was used for keeping the temperature of fenugreek seeds constant. It was found that the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss decrease with the increase in the frequency while the same increase with the increase in temperature and moisture content. The ac conductivity increased with the increase in frequency, moisture and temperature.

This study presents the dielectric and conductivity properties as function of temperature and frequency of wood based composites. These properties were measured by an open-ended coaxial probe at frequency range between 100 kHz to 100MHz, temperature from 30OC to 200OC which is fully computer interfaced. It has been observed that dielectric constant (ε') and dielectric loss factor (ε") increase with increasing temperature and decrease with increasing frequency. At low temperature region, the conductivity depends significantly on the frequency. However, with the increase in temperature dielectric relaxation takes place and the dependency of the conductivity on frequency get reduced. The patterns of variation were established for the studied specimens and discrepancies were discussed. The study of dielectric properties will help in improving the drying, heating and gluing processes of wood and wood based products.
