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.

Mullite/10 wt. %h-BN composites with 5 wt. % Y2O3 additive were fabricated by pressureless sintering at different temperatures. The densification, phase composition, microstructure, mechanical and dielectric properties of the mullite/h-BN composites were investigated. With the addition of Y2O3, the sintering temperature of the mullite/h-BN composites declined, while the density, mechanical and dielectric properties all increased. The addition of Y2O3 promoted the formation of liquid phase at high temperature, which accelerated the densification. Besides, Y2O3 particles which were located at the grain boundaries inhibited the grain growth of mullite matrix. For the mullite/h-BN composites with Y2O3 additive, the appropriate sintering temperature was about 1600°C. The relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and dielectric constant of the Y2O3 doped mullite/h-BN composite sintered at 1600 °C reached 82%, 135 MPa, 2.3 MPa·m1/2 and 4.9, respectively.

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.

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.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of NaF and firing temperature on the dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric loss) of talc, which is used in the electrical and electronic industries as a circuit element. A detailed characterization of the samples was made by XRD, FTIR, SEM and TG-DTG methods. Dielectric measurements were performed in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 80 MHz at room temperature. The dielectric constant value increased with an increase in firing temperature due to the removal of polarizable compounds from the talc structure. The higher dielectric constant values were obtained by addition of NaF. The dielectric loss of NaF doped talc decreased with the increase of firing temperature and increased with the increase of the amount of NaF.

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.

ABSTRACTHigh dielectric tunability, low dielectric loss tangent and appropriate level of dielectric constant are the basic requirements for applications as electrically tunable dielectric microwave devices. In our experiments, the SrTiO3 green compacts made of the powder mixtures with various particle sizes were infiltrated with a BaTiO3 precursor solution and sintered at different temperatures between 1280 and 1350 ºC for 2 hours and 1350 ºC for 6 hours. The sintering, microstructural and dielectric properties were investigated. Results showed that the relative density of SrTiO3 ceramics could reached 93% when sintered at 1280 ºC for 2 hours. When sintered for 6 hours at 1350 °C, the room temperature dielectric constant of SrTiO3 reaches 900 at a frequency of 1MHz. It has only weak temperature dependence between 100 and 500K. The reason of the low sintering temperature for the dense SrTiO3 ceramics and the effects of sintering scheme on the dielectric properties from 100 K to 500 K are discussed in this paper.

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.

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of pure and doped CCTO samples calcined at 950 °C and 1050 <sup>0</sup>C showed no traces of any other secondary phases, while impurity phases alongside CCTO phase in the x=0.00 sample calcined at 850 <sup>0</sup>C was observed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation showed an increase in grain size with increasing of Co content and calcining temperature. Dielectric measurements indicated that the dielectric constant of the pure CCTO calcined at 1050 <sup>0</sup>C/4h has a low value in the frequency range of 1kHz up to 1MHz, whereas the substitution of Co up to x = 0.10 into CCTO caused a huge increase in the dielectric constant value of the calcined samples which is equal to 153419 and 18957 at 950 <sup>°</sup>C and 1050 <sup>0</sup>C respectively. The complex impedance analysis of all samples shows a decrease in resistance with an increasing temperature, which suggests a semiconductor nature of the samples.</span></p>

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.
