Lead free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) and (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3)1-x(CaTiO3)x (NBT-CT) piezoelectric ceramics with the perovskite structure were studied. The NBT and NBT-CT samples were synthesized using a solid-state reaction method and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and dielectric measurements for several compositions (x = 0, 0.07, 0.15) at room temperature. The XRD analysis showed a stabilization of a rhombohedral phase at a low concentration of Ca (0 < x <0.15), whereas Raman spectra reveal a strong modification for the sample with x = 0.15. The dielectric properties of these ceramics were studied by measuring impedance in the 79-451K temperature range for unpoled and field cooling with an electric field (FC) conditions.

Perovskite solid solution ceramics of PZN–PT–BT with several compositions were synthesized by solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction results indicate pure perovskite structures for all samples. Dielectric measurements show that the implicit Ba(Zn[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text])O3(BZN) composition could broaden the diffusion phase transition (DPT) peaks and lower the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values. The observed dielectric properties may be caused by the increased cation disorder due to the substitution of barium onto the A-site and titanium onto the B-site.

Recently, researchers have shown great interest in improving the thermal, mechanical, dielectric, and microwave properties of pure polymers through the use of polymer-based composites. The essential properties of polymer-based composites can be modified by varying the amount of Zn/Al-NO3layered double hydroxide (LDH) added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Therefore, by determining the optimal ratio of LDH in the PVC matrix, the dielectric properties of PVC-LDH composites can be improved. An LDH was prepared using the coprecipitation method, while PVC-LDH composites were prepared using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent. The composites were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and room temperature dielectric measurements were investigated using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (Agilent 4291). The results confirmed that the prepared composites were pure. Additionally, the presence of LDH in the PVC matrix was verified. The dielectric measurements showed that an increase in the LDH concentration leads to an increase in the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor. When used as dielectric filler in the PVC matrix, the LDH improved the dielectric properties of the fabricated composites. The results indicate that these composites show great potential for use as microwave absorbers at low microwave frequencies.

Transition metal oxide-doped CCTO (CaCu3Ti4O12) ceramics were prepared by a conventional solgel synthesis method and the effects of pure CCTO and CCTO doped with Mn, Fe, Co, Ni to the crystal structure, microstructures and dielectrical properties of samples were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD analysis reveals that all samples exhibited multiphases with the pseudo-perovskite cubic CCTO phase with space group Im-3 as the main phase in undoped and doped CCTO samples. Peaks of monoclinic CuO and peroveskite CaTiO3 could also be seen in all samples which indicate that solid solution of CuO in CaTiO3 lattice was incomplete.SEM results show that doping effectively enhanced densification. SEM micrographs also suggested that the morphologies of doped CCTO ceramics had showed a matrix consisting of large grains wherein the small grains were embedded between the larger grains. Dielectric properties of pure and doped CCTO were investigated in a broad frequency range of the dielectric constant reached a value as high as εr = 29.4 at room temperature for CCTO doped with Ni at frequency (1000 Hz). Besides the sintering conditions, the microstructure and the dielectric properties of the CCTO are strongly influenced by type of doping elements.

Ferrite materials with the general formula Ni0.7Zn0.2Cu0.1Fe1.9M0.1O4 (M=Al and Cr) are synthesized by using the solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM) dielectric measurements and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques are utilized to study the various properties of the synthesized ferrites. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure and the crystallite size is calculated by Scherrer’s formula found to be 20.3 and 12.5 nm. The magnetic properties were studied using pulse field hysteresis loop technique at room temperature. The saturation magnetization exhibit 98.71 and 91.69 emu/g for Al3+ and Cr3+ substituted Ni-Zn-Cu ferrites respectively. The magnetic permeability is increasing for chromium substituted compound in the frequency range 100 Hz to 120 MHz and significant modification in DC conductivity is explained on the basis of hopping mechanism.

Polycrystalline Bi1-xSmxFeO3 multiferroic samples in the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1 were prepared via solid state reaction method. The effect of samarium ion (Sm3+) doping at the bismuth site in multiferroic BiFeO3 structure and its relation with magnetic and dielectric properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and Impedance Analyzer were used to characterize the structure and the properties of the composition. The XRD results showed that all the compounds are rhombohedral distorted perovskite structure (R3C). The average grain size identified by SEM were 2.61 µm and decreased to 1.18 µm by introducing the element of Sm doping. At room temperature, all samples showed a spontaneous magnetization which was enhanced by doping with Sm3+ ion. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss decreased inversely proportional to the frequency from 102 to 106 Hz.

In present work, the structural and dielectric properties of Pb1-xCuxZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PCxZT) ceramics where x = 0. 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 were studied. Powder of the compositions (PCxZT) was obtained by sol-gel route, the powders were calcined at 700 ºC for 4 h and sintered at 1100 ºC for 4 h. X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy suggest the formation of mixed-phase of tetragonal and rhombohedral structure which was confirmed by Rietveld refinement. Dielectric measurements of the compounds were studied as a function of temperature (from room temperature to 420 ºC at different frequencies) and as a function of frequency (from 100 Hz to 2 MHz at different temperatures). The temperature variation of the real permittivity gives evidence of the ferroelectric phase transition as well as of the resonance behaviour also observed in the dielectric permittivity frequency-dependent variation.

Samples of CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (CCTO) ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed single phase formation for the powder calcined at 1173 K. Sintering was done at different temperatures viz. 1348 K, 1373 K and 1398 K with a fixed heating rate of 3 K/min. Detailed study of dielectric properties was carried out for the CCTO samples sintered at 1373 K for different duration of holding times (2 h and 10 h). It is found that dielectric properties are sensitive to both sintering time and temperature. With increasing sintering time from 2 h to 10 h dielectric constant increases from ∼2.1 × 104 to ∼2.5 × 104 measured at 1 kHz at room temperature. Impedance spectroscopy has been used for separating out of grain and grain boundary contributions to the overall electrical properties.

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.
