In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT system ceramics were fabricated using $Li_2CO_3-Bi_2O_3$-CuO as sintering aids and their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated as a function of heating rate. At sintering temperature of $900^{\circ}C$, with increasing heating rate, electromechanical coupling factor(kp), mechanical quality factor(Qm) and dielectric constant $({\varepsilon}_r)$ were increased.

(Ba$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$)TiO$_3$ thin films were fabricated at different RTA temperatures and thicknesses by Sol-Gel method. Solution consisting of acetate powders and titanium isopropoxide in a mixture of acetic acid and ethylene glycol were spin coated onto Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates. The films were annealed in the temperature range of 650~80$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 minutes by rapid thermal annealing. These BST thin films were fully crystallized at 75$0^{\circ}C$ and showed a maximum dielectric constant value of $\varepsilon$$_{r}$=~468 and dielectric loss was ~0.025 at a thickness of approximately 4000$\AA$.EX>.>.

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of silver added 0.96 Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_3$-0.04 Pb(Mn,W,Sb,Nb)$_3$ ceramics were examined. By varying the contents of silver(0.0, 0.4, 1.0 mol%), the effect of silver addition on PZT-PMWSN ceramics was investigated at various sintering temperature(900, 1000, 1100 $^{\circ}C$). As increasing silver contents, the relative dielectric constant was increased and sinterability was enhanced. At the specimen with 0.4 mol% Ag and sintered at 1000 $^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor( $k_{p}$), mechanical quality factor( $Q_{m}$), dielectric constant($\varepsilon$$_{r}$) and dielectric loss were 0.502, 811, 991, 0.006, respectively. The results showed that the PZT-PMWSN/Ag composites have enhanced piezoelectic and dielectric properties and sintering temperature was lowered.red.

The $Mg_{1-x}Sr_xTiO_3\;(x=0.02{\sim}0.08)$ ceramics were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were $1250^{\circ}C{\sim}1350^{\circ}C$, 2hr., respectively. From the X-ray diffraction patterns, it was found that the perovskite $SrTiO_3$ and ilmenite $MgTiO_3$ structures were coexisted in the $Mg_{1-x}Sr_xTiO_3\;(x=0.02{\sim}0.08)$ ceramics. The dielectric constant( ${\epsilon}_r$) was increased with addition of $SrTiO_3$. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency( ${\tau}_f$) was gradually varied from negative value to the positive value with increasing the $SrTiO_3$. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of the $Mg_{1-x}Sr_xTiO_3(x=0.036)$ ceramics was near zero, where the dielectric constant, quality factor, and ${\tau}_f$ were 20.65, 95120 and +1.3ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Double layered BaTiO3 thin films with high dielectric constant as well as good insulating property were prepared for the application to low voltage driving thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) device. BaTiO3 thin films were formed by rf-magnetron sputtering technique. Amorphous and polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin films were deposited at the substrate temperatures of room temperature and 55$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Two kinds of films prepared under these conditions showed high resistivity and high dielectric constant. The figure of merit (=$\varepsilon$r$\times$Eb.d) of polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin film was very high (8.43$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$). The polycrystalline BaTiO3 showed a substantial amount of leakage current (I), under the high electric field above 0.5 MV/cm. The double layered BaTiO3 thin film, i.e., amorphous BaTiO3 layer coated polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin film, was prepared by the new stacking method and showed very good dielectric and insulating properties. It showed a high dielectric constant fo 95 and leakage current density of 25 nA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ (0.3MV/cm) with the figure of merit of 20$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The leakage current density in the double layered BaTiO3 was much smaller than that in polycrystalline BaTiO3 under the high electric field. The saturated brightness of the devices using double layered BaTiO3 was about 220cd/$m^2$. Threshold voltage of TFEL devices fabricated on double layered BaTiO3 decreased by 50V compared to the EL devices fabricated on amorphous BaTiO3.

This study investigated the crystal growth, crystalline structure and the basic optical properties of $PbSnSe/BaF_2$ epilayers. The PbSnSe epilayer was grown on $BaF_2$(111) insulating substrates using a hot wall epitaxy (HWE) technique. It was found from the analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns that $PbSnSe/BaF_2$ epilayer was grown single crystal with a rock-salt structure oriented along [111] the growth direction. Using Rutherford back scattering, the atomic ratios of the PbSnSe was found to be proper stoichiometric. The best values for the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the DCXRD was 162 arcsec for PbSnSe epilayer. The epilayer-thickness dependence of the FWHM of the DCXRD shows that the quality of the $PbSnSe/BaF_2$ is as expected. The dielectric function ${\varepsilon}(E)$ of a semiconductor is closely related to its electronic energy band structure and such relation can be drawn from features around the critical points(CPs) in the optical spectra. The real and imaginary parts(${\varepsilon}1$ and ${\varepsilon}2$) of the dielectric function ${\varepsilon}$ of PbSe were measured, and the observed spectra reveal distinct structures at energies of the E1, E2 and E3 CPs. These data are analyzed using a theoretical model known as the model dielectric function (MDF). The optical constants related to dielectric function such as the complex refractive index ($n^*=n+ik$), absorption coefficient (${\alpha}$) and normal-incidence reflectivity (R) are also presented for $PbSnSe/BaF_2$.

The effect of x wt% CuO-y wt% $V_2O_5$ content on the microwave properties of $(Pb_{0.45}Ca_{0.55})[(Fe_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})_{0.9}Sn_{0.1}]O_3$ (PCFNS) ceramics was investigated. In order to decrease the sintering temperature and use as a Low Temperature co-firing Ceramics (LTCC), CuO-$V_2O_5$ are added in the PCFNS. The bulk density, dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) and quality factor(Q${\cdot}f_0$) increased with increase in CuO content within a limited value. The microwave properties were degraded with increases in $V_2O_5$ content. The temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (${\tau}_f$) of PCFNS was shifted to positive value abruptly with increasing the $V_2O_5$ content, while the ${\tau}_f$ was slightly shifted to positive value with increasing the CuO content. The optimized microwave properties, ${\varepsilon}_r$ = 88, Q${\cdot}f_0$ = 6100 (GHz), and ${\tau}_f$ = 18 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, were obtained in $(Pb_{0.45}Ca_{0.55})[(Fe_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})_{0.9}Sn_{0.1}]O_3$ with 0.2wt% CuO 0.05 wt% $V_2O_5$ and sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The relationship between the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of ceramics was studied by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

The phase evolution, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of Sr-substituted $Ba(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$ ceramics, i.e., $(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.30$), sintered at $1700^{\circ}C$ for 1 h were investigated. All compositions showed a 1 : 1 ordered perovskite structure. In all the compositions, $BaWO_4$ was detected as the secondary phase. With increasing x in ($Ba_{1-x}Sr_x$) $(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$, the lattice parameter increased linearly, indicating that a substitutional solid solution occurred. All compositions exhibited a dense microstructure. The value of ${\varepsilon}_r$ increased slightly with increasing x. The value of $Q{\times}f_0$ increased with the increase in x up to x = 0.10 and reached a saturated value of about 100,000 GHz. The composition for x = 0.20, i.e., $(Ba_{0.80}Sr_{0.20})(Mg_{0.5}W_{0.5})O_3$, sintered at $1700^{\circ}C$ for 1 h exhibited superior microwave dielectric properties of ${\varepsilon}_r=19.6$, $Q{\times}f_0=99,358GHz$, and ${\tau}_f=0.0ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Gold functionalized graphene oxide (GOAu) nanoparticles were reinforced in acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers (NBR) via solution and melt mixing methods. The synthesized NBR-GOAu nanocomposites have shown significant improvements in their rate of curing, mechanical strength, thermal stability and electrical properties. The homogeneous dispersion of GOAu nanoparticles in NBR has been considered responsible for the enhanced thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of NBR nanocomposites. In addition, the NBR-GOAu nanocomposites were able to show a decreasing trend in their dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$) and electrical resistance on straining within a range of 10-70%. The decreasing trend in ${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$ is attributed to the decrease in electrode and interfacial polarization on straining the nanocomposites. The decreasing trend in electrical resistance in the nanocomposites is likely due to the attachment of Au nanoparticles to the surface of GO sheets which act as electrical interconnects. The Au nanoparticles have been proposed to function as ball rollers in-between GO nanosheets to improve their sliding on each other and to improve contacts with neighboring GO nanosheets, especially on straining the nanocomposites. The NBR-GOAu nanocomposites have exhibited piezoelectric gauge factor (${GF_{\varepsilon}}^{\prime}$) of ~0.5, and piezo-resistive gauge factor ($GF_R$) of ~0.9 which clearly indicated that GOAu reinforced NBR nanocomposites are potentially useful in fabrication of structural, high temperature responsive, and stretchable strain-sensitive sensors.

In this study, the microwave dielectric property variations of (1-x)$BiNbO_4-(x)ZnNb_2O_6$ composites (x=0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) with 10wt% zinc borosilicate(ZBS) glass was investigated as a function of the substitution of $ZnNb_2O_6$ with a view to applying thes system to LTCC technology. The all composition addition of 10wt% ZBS glass ensured a successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. In addition, a small amount of $Bi_2SiO_5$ as the secondary phase was observed in the all composition. The substitution of $ZnNb_2O_6$ on the $BiNbO_4$ composites increased the $Q{\times}f$ values, but it decreased the sinterability and dielectric constant due to the high sintering temperature and low dielectric constant of $ZnNb_2O_6\;than\;BiNbO_4$ ceramics. The increasing of $ZnNb_2O_6$ content from 0.3 to 0.7 in the (1-x)$BiNbO_4-(x)ZnNb_2O_6$ composites with 10wt% ZBS glass sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ demonstrated 28.1~15.6 in the dielectric constant$({\varepsilon}_r)$, 5,500~8,700GHz in the $Q{\times}f$ value.
