BaTiO3 ceramics doped with 0.1 to 4.0 mol% Nb2O5 were prepared by conventional solid stage sintering process, so as to investigate the effect of the amount of Nb2O5 on the dielectric properties and complex impedance patterns of barium titanates. From the measurement of capacitance, we found that the dielectric constant of BaTiO3 samples with 1 mol% or more Nb2O5 remained approximately constant around room temperature with values higher than 2500. In this paper, the effect of impurity content as well as temperature on complex impedance patterns was discussed in detail. In particular, the grain and grain boundary behavior of samples which showed PTCR characteristics was discussed in terms of measuring temperature.

In this study, phase-pure titanium dioxide TiO₂ ceramics are sintered using standard high-temperature solid-state reaction technique at different temperatures (1,000, 1,100, 1,200, 1,300, 1,400 ℃). The effect of sintering temperature on the densification and impedance properties of TiO₂ ceramics is investigated. The bulk density and average grain size increase with the increase of sintering temperature. Impedance spectroscopy analysis (complex impedance Z^* and complex modulus M^*), performed in a broad frequency range from 100 Hz to 10 MHz, indicates that the TiO₂ ceramics are dielectrically heterogeneous, consisting of grains and grain boundaries. The complex impedance Z^* -plane indicates the resistance of grains of the TiO₂ ceramics increases with increasing sintering temperature, while that of grain boundaries develops in the opposing direction. The complex modulus M^*-plane shows a grain capacitance that seems to be independent of the sintering temperature, while that of the grain boundaries decreases with increasing sintering temperature. These results suggest that different sintering temperatures have effects on the microstructure, leading to changes in the impedance properties of TiO₂ ceramics.

The capacitive application(prove) can be used to measure the complex permittivity of dielectric material of various thickness and cross section. This paper presents that we designed the analysis system of engine oil permittivity to know the relation between the engine oil deterioration and the prove dimension. Each of the dimension of capacitive prove is changed and then electric capacity is measured by LCR {Inductance(L), Capacitance (C), and Resistance (R)} meter. The engine oil permittivity has extracted in the prove measurement. As the additional research, this paper suggest the best of the prove dimension for the permittivity measurement.

Application of induction machines in wind turbine driven generators is a good alternative due to their good characteristics such as efficiency, reliability and low cost. Nevertheless, when isolated operation is required, the application of external capacitive bank, connected to the stator windings, to provide self-excitation results in a rather complex analysis. This paper presents an analysis of self-excited induction generator connected to a load either directly or by an intermediate of a power converter. At first a dynamic model of the induction generator accounting for magnetic saturation is developed. Then a number of balanced and unbalanced capacitors, passive and active loads are verified. Experimental results obtained from laboratory tests are compared to those simulated; the two are shown to be in good agreement.

Lead-free compound $(Na_{0.5}Bi_{0.5})(Zr_{0.75}Ti_{0.25})O_3$ was prepared using conventional ceramic technique at $1070^{\circ}C$/4h in air atmosphere. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of single-phase orthorhombic structure. Permittivity data showed low temperature coefficient of capacitance ($T_{CC}{\approx}5%$) up to $100^{\circ}C$. Complex impedance studies indicated the presence of grain boundary effect, non-Debye type dielectric relaxation and evidences of a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The ac conductivity data were used to evaluate the density of states at Fermi level and apparent activation energy of the compound.

An experimental device was developed for analysis of hydraulic oil characteristics with dielectric constant sensors. Online analysis is the most effective method of the three methods used for analyzing lubricant oils. This is because it can monitor the machine condition effectively using oil sensors in real time without requiring excellent analysis skill and eliminates human errors. Determining the oil quality usually requires complex laboratory equipment for measuring factors such as density, viscosity, base number, acid number, water content, additive, and wear debris. However, the electric constant is another indicator of oil quality that can be measured on-site. The electric constant is the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor using that material as a dielectric, compared with a similar capacitor that has a vacuum as its dielectric. The electric constant affects the factors such as the base oil, additive, temperature, electric field frequency, water content, and contaminants. In this study, the tendency of the electric constant is investigated with a variation of temperature, water content, and dust weight. The experimental device can control working temperature and mix the contaminants with oil. A machine condition monitoring program developed to analyze hydraulic oil is described. This program provides graph and digital values with variation of time. Moreover, it includes an alarm system for when the oil condition is bad.

We have investigated equivalent-circuit analysis of organic light-emitting diodes using frequency-dependent response of $ITO/Alq_3(60nm)/Al$ device at two different bias voltages. Complex impedance Z of the device was measured in the frequency range of 40Hz~1MHz. A Cole-Cole plot shows that there are two dielectric relaxations at the bias below turn-on voltage, and one relaxation at the bias above turn-on voltage. We are able to interpret the frequency-dependent response in terms of equivalent-circuit model of contact resistance $R_s$ in series with parallel combination of resistance $R_p$ and capacitance $C_p$. We have obtained contact resistance $R_s$ around $90{\Omega}$, mainly from the ITO anode.

High capacitance X5R MLCCs based on $BaTiO_3$ ceramic dielectric layers exhibit a single broad, asymmetric arc shape impedance and modulus response over the wide frequency range between 1 MHz to 0.01 Hz. Analysis according to the conventional brick-layer model for polycrystalline conductors employing a series connection of multiple RC parallel circuits leads to parameters associated with large errors and of little physical significance. A new parametric impedance model is shown to satisfactorily describe the experimental spectra, which is a parallel network of one resistor R representing the DC conductivity thermally activated by 1.32 eV, one ideal capacitor C exactly representing bulk capacitance, and a constant phase element (CPE) Q with complex capacitance $A(i{\omega})^{{\alpha}-1}$ with ${\alpha}$ close to 2/3 and A thermally activated by 0.45 eV or ca. 1/3 of activation energy of DC conductivity. The feature strongly indicate the CK1 model by J. R. Macdonald, where the CPE with 2/3 power-law exponent represents the polarization effects originating from mobile charge carriers. The CPE term is suggested to be directly related to the trapping of the electronic charge carriers and indirectly related to the ionic defects responsible for the insulation resistance degradation.

In the present study, impedance spectrometry has been used for predicting State-of-Charge (SoC) of gel type, Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA), battery. The impedance measurements of VRLA battery (2V/1.2 Ah) at various SoC were made over the frequency range from 100kHz to 10mHz with an amplitude 10 mV. The impedance parameters have been evaluated by the analysis of the data using an equivalent circuit and a complex non-linear least squares (CNLS) fitting method. The charge transfer resistance values and double layer capacitance values of the positive electrode were higher than those of the negative electrode. The gel resistance values increased with decreasing in SoC. This indicates that the gel resistance is an important parameter for predicting SoC of VRLA battery.

In this paper, new simple method for the calculation of depletion region under complex geometry and general purpose numerical simulator that could handle this were developed and applied in the analysis of SCM with nanoscale tip, which is a promising tool for high resolution dopant profiling. Our simple depletion region seeking algorithm alternatively switches material of elements to align ionized element boundary with contour of zero potential. To prove the validity of our method we examined whether our results satisfy the definition of depletion region and compared those with known values of un junction and MOS structure. By modeling of capacitance based on the shape of depletion region and potential distribution, we could calculate the CV curve and dC/dV curve between silicon substrate and nanoscale SCM tip.
