Effect of Rare Earth Oxides on the Microstructure and Microwave Dielectric Properties of CaO-MgO-Nb2Os-TiO2 System Ceramics

La2O3 and SrO-doped CaO-MgO-Nb2O3-TiO2 system ceramics were prepared by solid-state ceramic technique.The microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of CaO-MgO-Nb2O5-TiO2-La2O3 cermics can be adjusted by varying the amount of La^3＋ or Sr^2＋ ions respectively.The replacement of Ca^2＋ by La^3＋ at A-site of the ceramics increases the quality factor Q value（ at 7.6GHz）as well as the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τf and decreases the dielectric constant εr and the substitution of Sr^2＋ at A-site in this ceramics system exhibits opposite characteristics.The microwave properties of La^3＋,Sr^2＋-doped CaO-MgO-Nb2O5-TiO2 system ceramics depend on the degree of octahedral distortion inside materials.     

Dielectric Properties of Ag（Nb1-xTax）O3 and Bi2O3 Doped Ag（Nb1-xTax）O3 Ceramics

Dielectric properties of Ag（Nb1-xTa）O3 and Bi2O3 doped Ag（Nb1-xTax）O3 solid solutions were investigated. The results show that with the increase of Ta content （x）, the sintering temperature increased, and the dielectric loss （tanδ） and the temperature coefficient （αc） decreased. Ag（Nb1-xa）O3 （x=0.4） ceramics sintered at 1 100℃ had the highest permittivity （516.8） and a lower tanδ （0.0021） at 1 MHz, and its temperature coefficient was about 191 ppm/℃. The sintering temperature of Ag（Nb1-xTa）O3 （x=0.4） was lowered by the addition of Bi2O3, and its dielectric properties were improved. Ag（Nb0.6Ta0.4）O3 ceramics with 2.5 wt% Bi203 addition presented the optimum dielectric properties （ε=566, tanδ= 0.0007 and αc≈0ppm/℃） （1 MHz）,

Structure and Electric Properties of （1-x）（Bi1/2Na1/2） TiO3-xBaTiO3 Systems

The structural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of （1-x）（Bi1/2Na1/2） TiO3-xBaTiO3 ceramics were investigated for the compositional range, x=0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10. The samples were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction technique. All compositions show a single perovskite structure, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns can be indexed using a rhombohedral structure. Lattice constants and lattice distortion increase while the amount of BaTiO3 increases. The X-ray diffraction results show the morphotropic phase boundary （MPB） of （1-x）（Bi1/2Na12） TiO3-xBaTiO3 exists in near x=0.06-0.08. Temperature dependence of dielectric constant eT33/ε0 measurement reveals that all compositions experience one structural phase and two ferroelectric phases transition below 400℃： rhombohedral （or rhombohedral plus tetragonal） ferroelectric phase ←→ tetragonal antiferroelectric phase ←→ tetragonal paraelectric phase. Relaxor behaviors exist in the course of ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase transition. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties are enhanced in the MPB range for （ 1-x）（Bi1/2Na1/2）TiO3-xBaTiO3.     

Effect of B2O3 on the Structure and Photoluminescence Properties of Sol-gel Glass Doped with Terbium Organic Complex

Both silica and boron-silica glass materials doped with terbium organic complex were prepared by in situ sol-gel method respectively. XRD and SEM measurements were performed to verify the non-crystalline structure of the glass. The influence of the glass contents on the structure of the glass and the erwrgy level of the doped Tb （Ⅲ） ions was analyzed by the emission spectra and IR spectra. The effect of B2O3 on the photolumirwscence properties of rare earth organic complex in silica- based glass was investigated. The IR spectra indicate that the in situ sylthesized rare earth complex molecule was confined to the micropores of the bost and the vibration of the ligands was frozen. When B2O3 was added into the silica host gel, B2O3 had little influence on the noncrystallirw structure of the glass, and BO3 triangle, which had a layer structure different from the silica framework, could form. So the silica network became more inhomogenous, and the luminescence of terbium complexes was quenched with the increase of the B2O23 amount.     

Low-temperature sintering and microwave dielectric properties of Li2MgTi3O8 ceramics doped with BaCu（B2O5）

The influences of BaCu(B₂O₅) (BCB) addition on sintering, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Li₂MgTi₃O₈ ceramics were investigated using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and microwave dielectric measurements. The experimental results show that a small amount of BaCu(B₂O₅) addition can effectively reduce the sintering temperature to 900 °C, and induce only a limited degradation of the microwave dielectric properties. Typically, the best microwave dielectric properties of ɛ _r=24.5, Q×f =24 622 GHz, τ _f=4.2×10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ are obtained for 1.0% BCB-doped Li₂MgTi₃O₈ ceramics sintered at 900 °C for 3 h. The BCB-doped Li₂MgTi₃O₈ ceramics can be compatible with Ag electrode, which may be a strong candidate for low temperature co-fired ceramics applications.

Microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of lead borosilicate glass ceramics with Al2O3

The effects of Al₂O₃ addition on both the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of PbO-B₂O₃-SiO₂ glass ceramics were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that with the increase of Al₂O₃ content the bands assigned to [SiO₄] nearly disappear. Aluminum replaces silicon in the glass network, which is helpful for the formation of boron-oxygen rings. The increase of the transition temperature T _g and softening temperature T _f of PbO-B₂O₃-SiO₂ glass ceramics leads to the increase of liquid phase precipitation temperature and promotes the structure stability in the glasses, and consequently contributes to the decreasing trend of crystallization. Densification and dielectric constants increase with the increase of Al₂O₃ content, but the dielectric loss is worsened. By contrast, the 3% (mass fraction) Al₂O₃-doped glass ceramics sintered at 725 °C have better properties of density ρ=2.72 g/cm³, dielectric constant ɛ _r =6.78, dielectric loss tan δ=2.6×10⁻³ (measured at 9.8 GHz), which suggest that the glass ceramics can be applied in multilayer microwave devices requiring low sintering temperatures.

Structure of Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 system low-melting sealing glass

Bi_2O_3-ZnO-B_2O_3 system glass is a kind of lead-free low melting sealing glasses. The structure of Bi_2O_3-ZnO-B_2O_3 system low-melting sealing glass was investigated by DSC, FT-IR, XRD and SEM. The results show that with the increase of B_2O_3 content, the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature T_f of Bi_2O_3-ZnO-B_2O_3 system low-melting sealing glasses increase, which leads to the liquid phase precipitation temperature increasing and promotes the structure stability in the glass. With increasing the heat treatment temperature, a large number of liquid phases appear in samples and the sinter efficiency of the samples increases. The FT-IR spectra of the glasses show the presence of some bands that are assigned to vibrations of Bi-O bond from [BO_3] pyramidal and [BiO_6] octahedral units and B-O from [BO_3] and [BO_4] units. With the decrease of B_2O_3 content, the crystallization tendency of the glass increases. In glass samples B_1 and B_2, crystallization starts at 460 ℃ and 540 ℃, respectively. Both of them precipitate Bi-(24)B_2O_(39) phases.

Effect of nucleating agents on microstructure and mechanical properties of SiO2-Al2O3-ZrO2 glass-ceramics

SiO2-Al2O3-ZrO2 glasses with different nucleating agents were crystallized under special processing schedule. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the glass-ceramics in SiO2-Al2O3-ZrO2 system were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and three-point bending method. The results show that ZrO2 is not an effective nucleating agent in SiO2-Al2O3-ZrO2 system, while TiO2 is effective for the separation of spinel, and P2O5 facilitates solubility of ZrO2 in glass and crystallization. The main crystalline phases of the glass-ceramics are spinel, anorthite and tetragonal zirconia. With the increase of ZrO2 content in the glass, glass-ceramics show higher bending strength （120 MPa） than others.
