Ferroelectric glass,ceramics of composition 0.90 (Ba0.7Sr0.3) TiO3,0.10(B2O3:SiO2) (0.90 BST:0.10 BS) synthesized by sol,gel method have been used for the preparation of dielectric thick-film inks. The particle dispersion of the glass,ceramic powders in the thick-film ink formulations have been studied through rheological measurements for fabricating thick-film capacitors by screen printing technique. The thick films derived from such glass,ceramics are found to sinter at considerably lower temperatures than the pure ceramic, and exhibit good dielectric characteristics with a tunability of 32% at 1 MHz under a dc bias field of 35 kV/cm.

Electric Field-Dependent Dielectric Properties and High Tunability of Porous Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 Ceramics

Porous Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) ceramics were fabricated by the traditional solid-state reaction process, and their structural, microstructural, dielectric, and tunability properties were systemically investigated. Compared with the fully dense BST samples, porous samples exhibit smaller grain sizes, a more uniform microstructure, and much lower dielectric constants, while at the same time, exhibiting little increase in tunability, which is beneficial to the development of microwave-tunable applications. At a frequency of 10 kHz and a temperature of 18°C, as porosity increased from 0% to 28.8%, the dielectric constant of the BST ceramics (under zero bias field) decreased from ,r(0),1690 to ,r(0),990, while the dielectric losses were still less than 0.2%, and the tunability increased from 17.6% to 19.6% (2.6 kV/mm).

Dispersion characteristics of LiTi-Ferrite radome

Abstract The dispersion characteristics of a magnetically switchable LiTi-Ferrite radome is presented. A thin layer of LiTi-ferrite is used as superstrate or radome layer, which control the radiation, reception, and scattering from a printed antenna or array by applying a DC magnetic bias field in the plane of the ferrite, orthogonal to the RF magnetic field. In this analysis, absorbing and transmission power coefficients are calculated to obtain the power loss in radome layer and transmitted power, respectively. The absorbing power coefficient verifies the switching behavior of radome for certain range of applied external magnetic field (Ho), which depends on the resonance width parameter (,H) of ferrite material. By properly choosing the bias field, quasi TEM wave propagation in the ferrite layer can be made to be zero or negative over a certain frequency range, results in a switching behavior in the ferrite layer. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of cooling field strength and ferromagnetic shell shape on exchange bias in nanoparticles with inverted ferromagnetic,antiferromagnetic core-shell morphology

Abstract The dependence of exchange bias (EB) effects on cooling field strength and particle shape in nanoparticles with antiferromagnetic (AFM) interfacial coupling and inverted AFM core with a fixed radius and ferromagnetic (FM) shell with various thicknesses are investigated by using a modified Monte Carlo Metropolis method. It is found that with the increase of cooling field, field-cooled exchange bias field (HE) fluctuates in the range of negative values initially, and then has an abrupt jump from the negative value to the positive value, finally levels off. However, HE decreases as the FM shell shape varies from No. 1 to No. 13 regardless of the strength of cooling field. Coercivity is affected by cooling fields and shapes indicating distinct behaviors. Because the AFM core is almost unaffected by shape and frozen completely during measuring hysteresis loops, the effect of ferromagnets on EB, negligible in most of other systems, is ambiguously manifested in such an unconventionally structural system. Moreover, the phenomena are interpreted well by presenting the snapshots of microscopic spin energy distributions, which make us observe directly and vividly the movement of domains and the competition of energies. This work will shed new light into the microscopic origin of peculiar magnetic properties of nanoparticles with special structures. [source]


The evolution of the electric field in an optically excited semiconductor superlattice

PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 8 2005

Abstract We report on time-resolved photocurrent spectroscopy of an intrinsic GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As superlattice subsequent to femtosecond optical excitation. Information on the spatio-temporal evolution of the densities of electrons and holes and on the internal electric field is obtained by tracing Wannier-Stark photocurrent spectra as a function of delay time for various bias fields and pump excitation intensities. The experimental results are supplemented by simulations. We employ the combined information to define the conditions to be met for succesful pump-probe Bloch gain experiments. In particular, we find that field screening sets on upper limit for the carrier density of 1016 cm,3, and that the time window during which gain should be found is defined by the duration of the sweep-out of the optically injected electrons from the superlattice which occurs within about 10 ps after excitation.
