Dielectric properties and ac conductivities of Bi1−xSmxFeO3 ceramics
2019
Dielectric permittivity, dielectric losses and ac-conductivity of polycrystalline Bi1−xSmxFeO3 (x = 0; 0.05; 0.1; 0.15; 0.2) are measured in the frequency range 1 kHz–10 MHz and in the temperature range 25–600 °C. Anomalies have been observed at the 200 °C, 300 °C and at the Néel temperature. It has been demonstrated that doping with Sm has enhanced the dielectric properties and increased conduction in the frequency region 1 MHz) and at a certain temperature Tm, depending on the composition Bi1−xSmxFeO3, the conductivity reaches a maximum. The results are discussed with reference to the model of correlated barrier hopping.
Electrical transport in carbon black-epoxy resin composites at different temperatures
2013
Citation: J. Appl. Phys. 114, 033707 (2013); doi: 10.1063/1.4815870 (Received 3 May 2013; accepted 27 June 2013; published online 17 July 2013) Results of broadband electric/dielectric properties of different surface area—carbon black/epoxy resin composites above the percolation threshold are reported in a wide temperature range (25–500 K). At higher temperatures (above 400 K), the electrical conductivity of composites is governed by electrical transport in polymer matrix and current carriers tunneling from carbon black clusters to polymer matrix. The activation energy of such processes decreases when the carrier concentration increases, i.e., with the increase of carbon black concentration…
BST ceramics: Effect of attrition milling on dielectric properties
2004
Abstract The effect of grain size on the dielectric properties of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) ceramics is investigated. Attrition milling is chosen to obtain nanometre particle size from micrometre particle size powders. Fine grained ceramics are obtained by hot uniaxial pressing (HUP). Additionally, the present study is focused on the effect of the nature of milling balls on loss tangent and permittivity. For that, three kinds of balls are tested: calcia, yttria or ceria stabilised zirconia balls. The properties of these samples are evaluated in the range of MHz. The balls induce an involuntary doping of powders which modifies the dielectric properties, especially the Curie temperature and loss t…
Thermal and conductivity dependence of GaAs based acoustic biosensors
2016
GaAs BAW sensors using shear acoustic waves were developed for biological detection and quantification. The sensor consists of a 50–350µm thick membrane where thickness shear acoustic waves were produced with a lateral field excitation (LFE). The LFE electrode arrangement is located on one side of the membrane. The other side is dedicated for proteins or cells capture through a bio-functionalized interface formed on the GaAs surface. Sensitivity of this type of sensor had been evaluated by modeling to 0.1ng.Hz−1. Detection needs to be done in liquid environment with complex biological analytes such as blood or plasma. These analytes can inevitably induce temperature and surface charge varia…
Dielectric Permittivity and Conductivity of Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.1Nb0.9O3and Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.111Nb0.889O3Solid Solutions
2011
Results of studies of dielectric properties and conductivity in 290–700 K range of temperature and frequencies from 25 to 106 Hz in ferroelectric perovskite solid solutions Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.1Nb0.9 O3 and Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.111Nb0.889 O3 are reported. A first-order ferroelectric phase transition proceeds in both studied compositions within the observed range of temperature. The co-precipitated Ta2yNb2(1-y)O5 pentoxides being used for synthesis of Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.111Nb0.889O3 the Curie point shifts by ∼75 K to a lower temperature while compared with Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.1Nb0.9O3 synthesised from mechanical mixture of the Ta2O5 and Nb2O5 oxides the high-frequency dielectric permittivity and ion conduct…
Complex permittivity of FeCl3/AOT/CCl4 microemulsions probed by AC impedance spectroscopy
2009
Abstract The complex permittivity of FeCl 3 /AOT/CCl 4 microemulsions in the 1–10 5 Hz frequency range has been measured by the conventional AC complex impedance technique. Measurements as a function of the volume fraction of the dispersed phase (FeCl 3 + AOT) and temperature at fixed salt-to-AOT molar ratio ( R , R = 0.5) show that the entrapment of FeCl 3 clusters significantly enhances the local permittivity of the AOT reverse micelles and the number density of charge carriers resulting from the peculiar state of the confined inorganic salt. An estimate of the apparent static permittivity of the FeCl 3 ionic clusters entrapped in the core of AOT reverse micelles gives the very high an…
Crystal growth and hysteresis phenomena of rubidium tetrachlorozincate Rb2ZnCl4
1988
Abstract Phase transitions in Rb2ZnCl4 crystals grown by various methods are examined with differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric measurements. For most of the studied samples the permittivity along the ferroelectric axis shows a large thermal hysteresis over a wide temperature range including the incommensurate phase and the lock-in point. This hysteresis depends on the presence of different defects which appear during crystal growth or after a thermal and mechanical treatment. It is shown that dielectric measurements are quite well suited to characterize the crystals exhibiting on incommensurate phase and a ferroelectric phase.
Ferroelectric Properties and Crystal Structure of YBa2Cu3O7/BaxSr(1−x)TiO3 Heterostructures
1997
ABSTRACTEpitaxial YBa2Cu3O7/Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (YBCO/BST) and YBCO/BaTiO3 (BTO) heterostructures were prepared by dc and rf sputtering on SrTiO3 and MgO substrates. The YBCO/BTO bilayers exhibit an inductive superconducting transition temperature of 85 K and the ferroelectric phase transition of BST shows a Curie-Weiss temperature of 310 K. Microstructure was investigated by x-ray-diffraction and atomic force microscopy. In this work we also studied the insulator's conductivity and the contribution of domain walls to permittivity.
Terahertz conductivity of the heavy-fermion compound UNi2Al3
2011
We have studied the optical properties of the heavy-fermion compound UNi${}_{2}$Al${}_{3}$ at frequencies between 100 GHz and 1 THz (3 and 35 cm${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$), temperatures between 2 and 300 K, and magnetic fields up to 7 T. From the measured transmission and phase shift of radiation passing through a thin film of UNi${}_{2}$Al${}_{3}$, we have directly determined the frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the optical conductivity (or permittivity, respectively). At low temperatures the anisotropy of the optical conductivity along the $a$ and $c$ axes is about 1.5. The frequency dependence of the real part of the optical conductivity shows a maximum at low temperat…
Temperature and electric field dependence of the permittivity of Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 films epitaxially grown on cuprate electrodes
1999
Abstract Cuprate, high-temperature superconductors and perovskite ferroelectrics have similar crystal structures and chemical constituents and, therefore, it can be advantageous to deposit epitaxial trilayer capacitors with high-Tc electrodes and operate these at room temperature, well above the transition temperature Tc, in order to achieve a high dielectric constant, tunability, and relatively low microwave loss. Epitaxial heterostructures (200 nm)YBa2Cu3O7−δ/(600 nm)Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3/(200 nm)YBa2Cu3O7−δ and (200 nm)NdBa2Cu3O7−δ/(600 nm)Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3/(200 nm)NdBa2Cu3O7−δ were laser deposited on (100)LaAlO3 substrates. The relative dielectric permittivity e/e0 of Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 was in the ra…
