The discharge characteristics of Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge (SDBD) reactor are investigated to find optimal driving condition with adjusting various parameter. When the high voltage with sine wave form is applied to SDBD source, successive pulsed current waveforms are observed owing to multiple ignitions through the long discharge channel and wall charge accumulation on the dielectric surface. The discharge voltage, total charge between dielectrics, mean energy and power are calculated from measured current and voltage according to electrode gap and dielectric thickness. Discharge mode transition from filamentary to diffusive glow is observed for narrow gap and high applied voltage case. However, when the diffusive discharge is occurred with high applied voltage, the actual firing voltage is always lower than that with low driving voltage. The $Si_3N_4$, $MgF_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ are considered for dielectric protection and high secondary electron emission coefficient. SDBD with $MgF_2$ shows the lowest breakdown voltage. $MgF_2$ thin film is proposed as a protection layer for low voltage atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge devices.

The accidents caused by dielectric instability have been increasing in power grid. It is important to enhance the dielectric reliability of a high voltage apparatus to reduce the damage from electrical hazards. To develop an electrically reliable high voltage apparatus, the experimental study on the electrical breakdown field strength is indispensable, as well as theoretical approach. In this paper, the lightning impulse breakdown characteristics considering utilization factors are studied for the establishment of insulation design criteria of an high voltage apparatus. The utilization factors are represented as the ratio of mean electric field to maximum electric field. Dielectric experiments are performed by using several kinds of sphere-plane electrode systems made of stainless steel. As a result, it is found that dielectric characteristics are affected by not only maximum electric field intensity but also utilization factors of electrode systems. The results are expected to be applicable to designing the air-insulated high voltage apparatuses.

The tracking pattern formed on the dielectric surface due to a surface electrical discharge exhibits fractal structure. In order to quantitatively investigate the fractal characteristics of the surface tracking pattern, the dielectric breakdown model has been employed to numerically generate the surface tracking pattern. In dielectric breakdown model, the pattern growth is determined stochastically by a probability function depending on the local electric potential difference. For the computation of the electric potential for all points of the lattice, a two-dimensional discrete Laplace equation is solved by mean of the successive over-relaxation method combined to the Gauss-Seidel method. The box counting method has been used to calculate the fractal dimensions of the simulated patterns with various exponent $\eta$ and breakdown voltage $\phi_b$. As a result of the simulation, it is found that the fractal nature of the surface tracking pattern depends strongly on $\eta$ and $\phi_b$.

In this paper, we have investigated the structure and dielectric properties of the $(Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ (BST) thin films fabricated on MgO(100)/Si substrate by an alkoxide-based sol-gel method. Both the structure and morphology of those films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). For the MgO(100)/Si substrate, the BST thin films exhibited highly (100) orientation. The highly (100)-oriented BST thin films showed high dielectric constant, tunability, and figure of merit (FOM). The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and tunability of the BST thin films annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ deposited on the MgO(100)/Si substrate measured at 10 kHz were 515.9, 0.0082, and 54.3%, respectively.

The purpose of this work was to investigate the design and fabrication process effects on electrical properties in high capacitance multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with nickel electrode. Dielectric breakdown voltage and insulation resistance value were decreased with increasing stack layer number, but dielectric constant and capacitance were increased. With increasing green sheet thickness, dielectric breakdown voltage, C-V and I-V properties were also increased. The major reasons of the effects were thought to be the defects generated extrinsically during fabrication process and interfacial reactions formed between nickel electrode and dielectric layer. These investigations clearly showed the influence of both green sheet thick ness and stack layer number on the electrical properties in fabricating the MLCC.

The discharge condition of Plasma display panel(PDP) changes as the display time increases. Imaginary part of permittivity of dielectric material which is related to dielectric loss has been often neglected because of relatively small value compare to that of the real part. The thermal characteristics of PDPs with two different dielectrics has been studied and compared.

Recently in accordance with the rapid development of the industrial society, the accidents caused by dielectric breakdown have been increasing in power grid. It is important to prevent the dielectric breakdown of a high voltage apparatus to reduce the damage from electrical hazards. To establish an electrically reliable database of insulation design criteria for high voltage apparatus, a study on dielectric characteristics test is indispensable. In this study, dielectric characteristics according to field utilization factors (${\xi}$) which are represented as the ratio of mean electric field to maximum electric field are investigated. the dielectric breakdown experiments by using several kinds of electrode systems made with stainless steel are performed by AC breakdown voltage under air-insulation. Also, the experimental results are analyzed by the Weibull distribution. As a result, it is found that the dielectric characteristics of air-insulation are determined by ${\xi}$ as well as arrangement of electrode systems. It is considered that the results of this study would be applicable to designing the air-insulated high voltage apparatuses.

A silicone rubber has been used so many dielectric materials for extremely high voltage(EBW) electric appliances. The reason why it is very stable in the thermal, mechanical and electrical environment. In this paper, we have studied the dependence of dielectric characteristics of silicone rubber on frequency-dependent variation. The dielectric characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 25[$^{\circ}C$] and 150[$^{\circ}C$]. Also we measured in the voltage range of 1[V] and 20[V]. The energy of activation on the dielectric loss obtained 2.44[kcal/mol], 2.1[kcal/mol], 1.63[kcal/mol] and 1.57[kcal/mol] by appling respectively.

Linear and nonlinear complex permittivities were measured for copolymers of vinylidene cyanide(VDCN) with vinyl acetate(VAc), vinyl propionate(VPr), vinyl bezoate(VBz), styrene(St) and methyl methacrylate(MMA). Experimental results are well fitted by the function (equation omitted) except at low frequency where dc conduction dominates. The analysis of dielectric relaxation mechanism by combined knowledge about linear and nonlinear dielectric permittivities and dipoles give us informations about electrical and thermal motions in these copolymers. According to the analysis it could be found that the variation for temperature of the dielectric relaxation strength in these copolymers is related to the interaction between dipoles and the nonlinear dielectric effect factor R$_{s}$ is proportional to square of the dipolar correlation factor R$_{p}$././.

The dielectric constants of small particles are estimated using negative dielectrophoresis(DEP). A pair of cylindrical electrodes is proposed to produce a non-uniform electric field that levitates a dielectric particle. Measuring the height of the levitated particle, we can calculate the effective polarizability, and estimate the dielectric constant of the particle using a nonlinear regression method. By determining dielectric constant of polystyrene and polychloromethylstyrene particle, the proposed electrode structure and method show the possibility to measure the dielectric constants of dielectric particles.
