Electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption properties of BaTiO3-carbonyl iron composite in S and C bands

BaTiO₃ powders are prepared by sol-gel method. The carbonyl iron powder is prepared via thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl. Then BaTiO₃-carbonyl iron composite with different mixture ratios was prepared using the as-prepared material. The structure, morphology, and properties of the composites are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a network analyzer. The complex permittivity and reflection loss of the composites have been measured at different microwave frequencies in S- and C-bands employing vector network analyzer model PNA 3629D vector. The effect of the mass ratio of BaTiO₃/carbonyl iron on the microwave loss properties of the composites is investigated. A possible microwave absorbing mechanism of BaTiO₃-carbonyl iron composite has been proposed. The BaTiO₃-carbonyl iron composite can find applications in suppression of electromagnetic interference, and reduction of radar signature.

Microstructure and electromagnetic characteristics of BaTiO3/Ni hybrid particles prepared by electroless plating

To improve the microwave absorption ability, hybrid particles containing both dielectric loss of BaTiO₃ and magnetic loss of Ni were fabricated via electroless Ni plating on BaTiO₃ particles. A continuous Ni coating was successfully covered on the surface of the BaTiO₃. The effect of the Ni content on complex permittivity, complex permeability, and microwave absorption properties of BaTiO₃/Ni hybrid particles was investigated. The real (?′) and imaginary (?″) parts of complex permittivity as well as imaginary part of complex permeability (μ″) were found to increase with an increase in Ni content, while the variation of the real part of complex permeability (μ′) with Ni content was non-linear. The microwave absorption performances could readily be tuned base on the changing Ni content of the hybrid particles. The optimal absorption performances were attained when the content of Ni reached 38.9 wt% in hybrid particles.

Dielectric properties and temperature stability of BaTiO3 co-doped La2O3 and Tm2O3

The influence of La₂O₃ and Tm₂O₃ co-doping on the dielectric properties and the temperature stability of BaTiO₃ was investigated. BaTiO₃ ceramics were prepared with the compositional formula of (Ba_1−xLa_x)(Ti_1-x/4−yTm_y)O₃. La₂O₃ and Tm₂O₃ co-doping in BaTiO₃ mainly had effects on an increase in the dielectric constant and the temperature stability, respectively. The increase of La₂O₃ concentration and the decrease of Tm₂O₃ concentration in BaTiO₃ resulted in a decrease of lattice parameter and tetragonality because La³⁺ ion substituting for Ba site is smaller than Ba²⁺ ion and Tm³⁺ ion substituting for Ti site is larger than Ti⁴⁺ ion. With the increase of La₂O₃ and the decrease of Tm₂O₃, the dielectric constant of BaTiO₃ was enhanced in spite of the reduction of tetragonality. P-E hysteresis measurements revealed that this phenomenon was based on the improvement of remanent polarization with the increase of La₂O₃ concentration. The introduction of excess Tm₂O₃ in BaTiO₃ suppressed the grain growth and BaTiO₃ ceramics showed higher temperature stability due to the stable tetragonal structure and the small grain size with the increase of Tm₂O₃ concentration.     

Structural and DC conduction studies on vacuum evaporated BaTiO3 thin films prepared from BaTiO3 nano particles synthesised by wet chemical method

BaTiO₃ nanoparticles prepared by wet chemical method were thermally grown onto well cleaned glass substrates under the vacuum of 2 × 10⁻⁵ Torr, using 12A4 Hind Hivac coating unit. An Al–BaTiO₃–Al sandwich structure has been used for electrical conduction properties in the temperature range 303–423 K. The composition of nanoparticles and thin films were identified by EDS spectrum. The structural studies have been performed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The X-ray analysis showed that the nano particle has a tetragonal structure and deposited films at a lower thickness amorphous in nature, whereas the crystallinity increases with increase of thickness. In the DC conduction studies, the current–voltage characteristics of the films showed ohmic conduction in the low voltage region. In the higher voltage region, a space charge limited conduction (SCLC) takes place due to the presence of the trapping level. The activation energy was estimated and the values found to decrease with increasing applied voltage. The zero field value of the activation energy is found to be 0.31 eV. The free carrier mobility, carrier density and trap density values were calculated and reported in this paper.

Investigation on peak frequency of the microwave absorption for carbonyl iron/epoxy resin composite

Microwave absorbing characteristics of carbonyl iron/epoxy resin composite with various volume concentrations were investigated in 0.1-18 GHz. According to the electromagnetic parameters and thicknesses of the sample, numerical calculation and experiment have demonstrated that the frequency dependence of the microwave absorption comply with the quarter-wavelength (λ/4) matching model that may explain not only the peak frequency but also the number of the peaks. It implies that the quarter-wavelength condition can be successfully applied to understand and predict the peak frequency of the microwave absorption for ferromagnetic metal-based composites.

Theoretical and experimental study on the photoluminescence in BaTiO3 amorphous thin films prepared by the chemical route

A polymeric precursor method was used to synthesize BaTiO₃ amorphous thin film processed at low temperature. The luminescence spectra of BaTiO₃ amorphous thin films at room temperature revealed an intense single-emission band in the visible region. The visible emission band was found to be dependent of the thermal treatment history. Photoluminescence (PL) properties for different annealing temperatures were investigated. It was concluded that the intensity of PL is strongly dependent on both the heat treatment of the films and the presence of an inorganic disordered phase. Experimental optical absorption measurements showed the presence of a tail. These results are interpreted by the nature of these exponential optical edges and tails, associated with defects promoted by the disordered structure of the amorphous material. We discuss the nature of visible PL at room temperature in amorphous barium titanate in the light of the results of recent experimental and quantum mechanical theoretical studies. Our investigation of the electronic structure involved the use of first-principle molecular calculations to simulate the variation of the electronic structure in the barium titanate crystalline phase, which is known to have a direct band gap, and we also made an in-depth examination of amorphous barium titanate.     

Surface segregation in Nb-doped BaTiO3 films

We have used in situ photoemission spectroscopy to investigate Niobium doping in polycristalline BaTiO₃. The valence band maximum position progressively shifts from 2.5 eV for undoped to 2.84 eV for Nb-doped films. Ceramics and single crystal have been investigated for comparison with thin films. Nb-doped BaTiO₃ ceramics and Nb-doped SrTiO₃ single crystal show higher Fermi level position indicating that our doped films are less conducting regarding their bulk parents. This was confirmed by impedance spectroscopy under variable temperature. Large amount of niobium is clearly observable at surface but the amount of dopant is drastically reduced below the near-surface region, as evidenced by depth profile. Therefore, we provide evidence of surface segregation which would explain the contrasted resistivity values reported in literature for such donor-doped films.     

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigations on cubic BaTiO3, BaTi0.9Fe0.1O3 and Ba0.9Nd0.1TiO3 systems

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) studies were carried out on wet-chemically synthesized cubic BaTiO₃, Ba_0.9Nd_0.1TiO₃ and BaTi_0.9Fe_0.1O_3−δ powders. The compounds were prepared by hydrothermal and gel to crystallite conversion technique; and phases formed readily at 420 K. The phase purity of the powders was confirmed from X-ray diffractometry. Chemical state and chemical environment of the constituent elements in the compositions were examined by XPS. Ba²⁺ was found to exist in two different chemical environments in these titanates. The Ti 2p_3/2 photoelectron peak in BaTi_0.9Fe_0.1O_3−δ was found to be broadened after Fe³⁺ substitution. Any resolvable broadening was not observed distinctly in the Ti 2p peak for Ba_0.9Nd_0.1TiO₃, unsintered BaTiO₃ and BaTiO₃ annealed in hydrogen (8% H₂ + Ar) at 1000 K. The prevalence of mixed-valent titanium and iron in BaTi_0.9Fe_0.1O_3−δ composition was evident from the XPS results and was further supported by the enhanced electrical conductivity at 298-550 K for BaTi_0.9Fe_0.1O_3−δ in comparison to BaTiO₃ and Ba_0.9Nd_0.1TiO₃. Hydroxyl incorporation was facilitated by substituting Nd³⁺ in Ba-sublattice. The presence of hydroxyls was observed from the broadening of the O 1s peak in XPS studies of the compounds.     

Effect of Ag substitution on the electromagnetic property and microwave absorption of LaMnO3

La_1−xAg_xMnO₃ perovskites with different doping Ag-content were prepared by the sol–gel method. The electromagnetic characteristics and microwave loss behavior of these ion-doped rare-earth manganites were studied in the 2–18 GHz frequency range. The microstructure and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The complex permittivity spectra, the complex permeability spectra and microwave reflection loss were measured by a microwave vector network analyzer system. The XRD patterns show that the crystalline perovskite main phase ABO₃ is formed and impurity phases disappear when calcined at 1100 °C, and Ag metal as an impurity phase appears when excessive Ag⁺ is doped. The SEM image indicates that many of the La_0.85Ag_0.15MnO₃ particles are fiber-like or ellipsoidal. Magnetic loss and dielectric loss coexist and cooperate in microwave attenuation by moderate substitution of Ag⁺ for La³⁺. The microwave absorption property of the La_0.85Ag_0.15MnO₃ sample is enhanced with the bandwidth below −10 dB at about 6 GHz and the peak value of reflection loss is near −25.0 dB at the layer thickness of 2 mm.     

Optical properties of carbon nanotubes and BaTiO3 composite thin films

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes and BaTiO₃ composite films have been prepared by pulsed-laser deposition technique at room temperature and high temperature of 600℃, separately. The structures of the composite films are investigated by using scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The optical behaviours of the samples produced at different temperatures are compared with Raman spectroscopy, and UV-visible absorption. And the observation by Z-scan technique reveals that the composite films have a larger optical nonlinearity, and the samples prepared at high temperatures have better transmittance and opposite sign imaginary part of optical third-order nonlinearity.     

Electromagnetic and microwave absorption properties of carbonyl iron/La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 composites

In this work carbonyl iron/La_0.6Sr_0.4MnO₃ composites were prepared to develop super-thin microwave absorbing materials. The complex permittivity, permeability and microwave absorption properties are investigated in the frequency range of 8-12 GHz. An optimal reflection loss of −12.4 dB is reached at 10.5 GHz with a matching thickness of 0.8 mm. The thickness of carbonyl iron/La_0.6Sr_0.4MnO₃ absorber is thinner, compared with conventional carbonyl iron powders with the same absorption properties. The bandwidth with a reflection loss exceeding −7.4 dB is obtained in the whole measured frequency range with the thickness of 0.8 mm. The excellent microwave absorption properties are attributed to a better electromagnetic matching established by the combination of the enhanced dielectric loss and nearly invariable magnetic loss with the addition of La_0.6Sr_0.4MnO₃ nanoparticles in the composites. Our work indicates that carbonyl iron/La_0.6Sr_0.4MnO₃ composites may have an important application in wide-band and super-thin electromagnetic absorbers in the frequency range of 8−12 GHz.

Plasma sprayed Al2O3/FeCrAl composite coatings for electromagnetic wave absorption application

Al₂O₃/FeCrAl composite coatings were fabricated by atmosphere plasma spraying technique. Microstructure and dielectric properties in the frequency range from 8.2 to 12.4 GHz were investigated. The microstructure of composite coatings shows a uniform dispersion of metal particles with litter pores and microcracks in the composite coatings. The relaxation polarization and interfacial polarization in the coatings would contribute to enhance ?′ with rising FeCrAl content, and the associated loss could be considered as a dominating factor enhancing ?″. By calculating the microwave-absorption as a single-layer absorber, for the composite coatings with 41 wt.% FeCrAl content, the reflection loss values exceeding −10 dB are achieved in the frequency range of 9.1-10.6 GHz when the coating thickness is 1.3 mm.     

Magnetic and electrical properties of bulk BaTiO3+MgFe2O4 composite

BaTiO₃+MgFe₂O₄ material system was synthesized by hybrid chemical process using chlorides and nitrates of barium, titanium, iron, and magnesium. Magnetic properties of the composite samples measured as a function of annealing conditions indicated soft magnetic behavior. Saturation specific magnetization from 8 21 emu/g was observed for samples annealed at temperature between 950 and 1150 °C. Variation of specific saturation magnetization with respect to annealing temperature was related with the distribution of Fe cations in the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of MgFe₂O₄. Electrical properties of the samples annealed at different temperatures were measured to analyze the coexistence of ferroelectric phase. Dielectric constant varying from 15 to 200 with respect to frequency was observed for samples annealed from 950 to 1150 °C.
