Ni-Zn ferrite is required to have predominant and stable characteristics in the range of high frequency for the power line communication, so that microstructures and magnetic properties such as power loss and initial permeability in $Ni_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}Fe_2O_4$ were investigated in terms of variable $Bi_2O_3,CaO$ and $V_2O_5$ contents. $Bi_2O_3$ and $V_2O_5$ liquid phase created during sintering process promoted sintering and grain growth but much of the closed pore existed in the grains. The grain size of the specimens with $V_2O_5$ of over 0.5 wt% decreased as the result of "pinning effect"and the resonance frequency increased with CaO of 0.3we%. The high initial permeability of 81.52%, resonance frequency of 17.05 MHz and low power loss of 17,858 kW/$\textrm{m}^3$ were obtained from the samples with $Bi_2O_3$ of 0.5, CaO of 0.3, and $V_2O_5$ of 0.7 wt%.

The electromagnetic properties and microstructure of the basic composition of $(Ni_{0.2}Cu_{0.2}ZnO_{0.2})_{1.02}(Fe_{2}O_{3})_{0.98}$ were invested, changing the amount of the additives $Bi_2O_3$ and $ZrO_2$ and sintering temperature. The spinel structure of specimen was confirmed by the analysis of XRD patterns. Grain size and its density are increased by increasing the additive and the sintering temperature.However, the permeability increased with decreasing additive. It was also found that $Bi_2O_3$ had more effect on the increase of grain size and permeability rather than $ZrO_2$.

In this study, we have investigated the effects of Mn and Co co-doping on defects, J-E curves and grain boundary characteristics of ZnO-$Bi_2O_3$ (ZB) varistor. Admittance spectra and dielectric functions show two bulk defects of $Zn_i^{{\cdot}{\cdot}}$ (0.17~0.18 eV) and $V_o^{\cdot}$ (0.30~0.33 eV). From J-E characteristics the nonlinear coefficient (${\alpha}$) and resistivity (${\rho}_{gb}$) of pre-breakdown region decreased as 30 to 24 and 5.1 to 0.08 $G{\Omega}cm$ with sintering temperature, respectively. The double Schottky barrier of grain boundaries in ZB(MCo) ($ZnO-Bi_2O_3-Mn_3O_4-Co_3O_4$) could be electrochemically single type. However, its thermal stability was slightly disturbed by ambient oxygen because the apparent activation energy of grain boundaries was changed from 0.64 eV at lower temperature to 1.06 eV at higher temperature. It was revealed that a co-doping of Mn and Co in ZB reduced the heterogeneity of the barrier in grain boundaries and stabilized the barrier against an ambient temperature (${\alpha}$-factor= 0.136).

To establish the basic composition of low voltage varistor and to find the role of each compont in detail, we investigated the electrical properties and the microstructures. As a result, ZnO 1.0m/oBi2O3-1.0m/oCo2kO3-0.2m/oMnO2 system was optimum for low voltage varisor. We found that Bi2o3 promotes grain growth of ZnO and that Co2O3 doped in ZnO grain lowers the nonlinear resistance and MnO2 mainly existed near the ZnO grainboundary elevates nonlinear resistance.

LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramics)용 glass/ceramic 복합체를 제조하기 위해 4 종류의 borosilicate계 glass를 선정하고 filler로 $Al_2O_3$ ceramics를 filler 사용하여 30~50 vol% glass frit에 따른 소결 및 유전 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. Glass frit은 $SiO_2$와 $B_2O_3$ 함량비를 고정한 후 R(CaO, BaO, ZnO, $Bi_2O_3$)에 따라 유리 연화온도(Ts)와 함량이 소결에 미치는 영향 및 유전 특성 변화를 고찰한 결과, CaO-$B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass의 경우 다량의 2 차상이 형성되었고, 이에 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 완전 소결이 이루어지지 않았으며, BaO-$B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass는 celsian($BaAl_2Si_2O_8$) 결정이 형성되면서 소결성의 저하를 갖고 왔으며, ZnO-$B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass는 소결이 진행됨에 따라 주상이 $Al_2O_3$에서 gahnite($ZnAl_2O_4$) 결정이 형성되면서 품질계수가 크게 증가하였으며, $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass는 45 vol%일 때 $900^{\circ}C$에서부터 일정한 선수축율 특성을 나타내었지만, 다량의 액상으로 인하여 유전 특성의 저하를 나타내었다.

첨가제로 $Bi2O_3$를 첨가하고, 소결 온도를 변화시켜 고주파 내역에서 전자기적 특성이 안정적으로 유지될 수 있는 Ni-Zn 페라이트를 제조하고자 하였다. $Bi2O_3$의 첨가는 액상을 형성하여 소결을 촉진시키며, 0.3 wt% 첨가된 시편에서는 비정상 입자를 성장시켜 높은 전력 손실 특성을 나타내었다. 그러나 $Bi2O_3$의 적정한 첨가는 소결을 촉진시켜 밀도를 증가시키며, 균일한 입자를 형성하여 전력 손실이 감소하였다. Ni-Zn 페라이트에 $Bi2O_3$의 첨가는 공명 주파수 범위의 제어가 가능하며, 소결 촉진 및 밀도의 증가를 가져와 안정적인 재료를 제조할 수 있었다. 투자율의 일정성이 특정 주파수 10MHz 부근에서 급증하면서 급감하는 것은 공명이 생기고, 이러한 현장은 자벽 공명 또는 자벽의 이동에 의해 나타나는 것으로 보여진다.

The effects of various sintering additives such as $Bi_2O_3+V_2O_5$, $BiVO_4$, $B_2O_3$, and $CuO+V_2O_5$ on the low-temperature sintering and microwave dielectric properties of $(ZnMg)TiO_3$ system were studied. Sintering was enhanced by the sintering additives and highly dense samples were obtained for $(Zn_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})TiO_3$ at the sintering temperature of $910^{\circ}C$. $(Zn_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})TiO_3$ with 6.19 mol.%$B_2O_3$ was found to show the best sintering and microwave dielectric properties.

This paper describes the degradation properties of ZnO surge arresters impressed by lightning impulse currents. To investigate the deterioration behaviors of ZnO surge arresters due to lightning surges, the 8/20[${\mu}s$], 2.5[kA] standard lightning impulse currents were injected to the ZnO surge arrester under test. The power frequency AC and DC leakage currents flowing through the ZnO surge arresters with and without the injection of lightning impulse currents were measured. As a result, the leakage currents are increased and the asymmetry of the AC leakage current is pronounced as the number of injection of the impulse current increases. The ZnO grain of the surge arrester without the injection of lightning surges are uniform but the ZnO grain of the ZnO surge arrester with the injection of lightning impulse currents are deformed. Also, it was found that the decrease of the $Bi_2O_3$ due to the lightning impulse current leads to the lack of grain boundary layer and the current concentrated by the lack of grain boundary layer play an important role to degrade nonlinear property of ZnO surge arrester blocks.

To co-fire with commercial LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) materials at $850^{\circ}C{\sim}880^{\circ}C$, different contents of $B_2O_3$ were added to the $Bi_2O_3-ZnO-Nb_2O_5$ (BZN) ceramics. According to the test results, the cubic phase of BZN was transformed into orthorhombic in all the test materials. $BiNbO_4$ phase was formed in test materials with $2{\sim}5wt%$ of $B_2O_3$ addition. The phase transformation of cubic BZN was controlled during the synthesis process with excess ZnO content. The Cubic and orthorhombic phases of BZN could coexist and be sintered densely at $850^{\circ}C/2hr$.
