BiFeO3 is one of the most promising multiferroic materials but undergoes two major drawbacks: low dielectric susceptibility and high dielectric loss. Here we report high in-plane dielectric permittivity (ε' ∼2500) and low dielectric loss (tan δ < 0.01) obtained on Bi0.95Y0.05FeO3 films epitaxially grown on SrTiO3 (001) by pulsed laser deposition. High resolution transmission electron microscopy...

In recent years, the study of newer types of dielectric materials and compositions has been of great interest. The quest for new, innovative and easily obtainable dielectric materials that yield predictable and controllable permittivity and permeability values with very low dielectric loss has always been fruitful. New ideas and designs to implement these materials in microwave devices and stru...

hin film characterization is important for the semiconductor industry as it pushes for smaller and faster circuits and devices. Materials with a high dielectric constant are required for improved insulation and reduction of tunneling between layers, and low dielectric materials are needed for interconnects with reduced capacitance [1]. As feature sizes of circuits and devices approach 100 nm an...

In this paper, the oil-in-gelatin based tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs) doped with carbon based materials including carbon nanotube, graphene ink or lignin were prepared. The volume percent for gelatin based mixtures and oil based mixtures were both around 50%, and the doping amounts were 2 wt %, 4 wt %, and 6 wt %. The effect of doping material and amount on the microwave dielectric properti...

Agricultural waste ashes are used as resource materials to synthesize new glass and glass-ceramics. The as-prepared materials are characterized using various techniques for their structural and dielectric properties to check their suitability in microelectronic applications. Sugarcane leaves ash exhibits higher content of alkali metal oxides than rice husk ash, which reduces the melting point o...

nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. for studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...

Non–destructive testing methods constitute a fast growing field of study that concerns various materials. In addition to the up today bibliography a novel technique is presented here. It deals with the use of Dielectric Spectroscopy (DS) or Impedance Spectroscopy (IS) techniques for the verification of mechanical damages introduced in geomaterial structures. The main merit is that these techniq...

When the permittivities, or dielectric properties, of granular or powdered solid materials are important, some reliable relationship between the permittivity and the bulk density of the air-particle mixture is required. Examples of such applications include radio-frequency or microwave dielectric heating of these materials and the use of correlations between permittivity and water content of hy...
