It is well known that the addition of CaO-SiO$_2$to Mn-Zn ferrites forms an insulating grain bounary layer with high electrical resistivity. This study investigated the effect of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ on the electromagnetic properties of high frequency low loss Mn-Zn ferrites. The addition of 300ppm Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ developed an exaggerated grain growth while the addition of CaO-SiO$_2$addition with 200ppm Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ more effectively increased the density than that without Nb$_2$O$_{5}$. The addition of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ showed the lower power loss below 100 ppm SiO$_2$and the Nb$_2$O$_{5}$-CaO addition lowered the power loss at higher sintering temperature.

The sintering behavior and B-H loop properties of $Li_{0.5O4}$ with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ have been investigated by observation of microstructures and measurement of semi-static hysteresis loops. The sintering temperature was lowered by the additions of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ and the effect of $V_2O_5$ addition was greater than that of $Nb_2O_5$. The abnormal grain growth was observed at about 100$0^{\circ}C$(d:4.6g/㎤) and 85$0^{\circ}C$(d:4.5g/㎤) in the specimens with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ respectively. The addition of $Nb_2O_5$ retulted in a large and uniform grain size, and the addition of $V_2O_5$ resulted in a uniform grain size but the final density was lower than that of the pure specimen. The squareness was increased and the coercive force was decreased by the addition of $Nb_2O_5$, and the squareness was decreased and the coercive force was increased by the addition of $V_2O_5$. These effects could be explained by a large and uniform grain size, and by a lower final density of specimens with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ respectively.

The $BaTiO_3+xNb_2O_5$(x=6, 8, 10wt%) ceramics were prepared by conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties of the $BaTiO_3+Nb_2O_5$ ceramics with the sintering temperature and addition of $Nb_2O_5$ were investigated by XRD and SEM. Increasing the sintering temperature, the $2{\theta}$ value of BT(110) peak was shifted to the lower degree and intensity of the $Ba_6Ti_2Nb_8O_{30}$ (133) peak was increased. Increasing the addition of $Nb_2O_5$, the intensity of $BaTiNb_4O_{13}$ (201) peak was decreased and $Ba_6Ti_2Nb_8O_{30}$ (133) peak was increased. The grain size of the $BaTiO_3+Nb_2O_5$ ceramics sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ were almost uniform.

In this study, the effects of $Nb_{2}O_{5}$ addition on microstructure and piezoelectric characteristics of PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics were investigated. As $Nb_{2}O_{5}$ addition amount is increased, grain size is gradully decreased. At 0.3wt%$Nb_{2}O_{5}$ addition composition ceramics, maximum density, tetragonality and piezoelectric characteristics were obtained.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering ultrasonic vibrator, PCW-PMN-PZT ceramics with the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition were manufactured. All of the fabricated sample showed pure pervoskite structure of tetragonal phase. With increasing the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition, mechanical quality factor Qm were increased up to 0.2wt%$Nb_2O_5$ addition and then decreased. And also, with increasing the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition, grain size, kp, density and dielectric constant were linearly decreased. At the 0.2wt% $Nb_2O_5$ addition composition ceramic, kp of 0.48, Qm of 2186, ${\varepsilon}r$ of 1219 were shown, respectively. Their values were suitable for ultrasonic vibrator application.

The effect of {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }} and CoO addition on the temperature dependence of the {{{{ {BaTiO }_{3 } }}-based ceramic capa-citor has been studied. X7R with moderate temperature dependence has been developed by means of pre-cisely controlled {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }}/CoO ratio. Dielectric constant(K) and dissipation factor(DF) were 3500 and 1.5% respectively. As the content of {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }} was increased the curie temperature(Tc) was shifted to lower tem-perature and the dielectric constant at Tc was decreased. The proper addition of CoO with {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }} improved the temperature dependence of dielectric properties of the {{{{ {BaTiO }_{3 } }}-based ceramic capacitor.

The $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with CuO(1, 3, 5wt%) were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The ceramics were sintered at the temperature of $950^{\circ}C$∼$1075^{\circ}C$ for 3hr in air The structural properties and the microwave dielectric properties of $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics were investigated with sintering temperature and the addition of CuO. Increasing the addition of CuO, the peak of second phase($Cu_3Nb_2O_{8}$) was increased. The grain size of the $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with CuO was increased with CuO addition at same temperature. The dielectric constant of $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with CuO was increased with sintering temperature and CuO addition. While the quality factor of the $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with lwt% CuO depended on sinterability, the quality factor of $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ with 3wt% and 5wt% CuO depended on second Phase due to the CuO addition. The optimum dielectric Properties of $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 21.73 Q${\times}$f = 19,276 were obtained from the condition of 3wt% CuO addition and sintering temperature of $1025^{\circ}C$(3hr).

The microwave dielectric properties of $Zn_3Nb_2O_8\;with\;V_2O_5$ addition were investigated. The addition of $V_2O_5$ enhanced the sinterability of $Zn_3Nb_2O_8$, which resulted in high density of $Zn_3Nb_2O_8$ ceramic greater than 95% of the theoretical value when sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. X-ray diffraction analysis of sintered $Zn_3Nb_2O_8$ ceramic showed no second phase with $V_2O_5$ addition. Dielectric permittivity(${\varepsilon}_r$) and quality factor($Q{\times}f$) varied with both density at different sintering temperature and $V_2O_5$ addition. Dielectric permittivity, quality factor and temperature coefficient($T_{cf}$) of the two mole of $V_2O_5\;added\;Zn_3Nb_2O_8$ that was sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ were 21.4, 40,000, $-54ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.
