  • Bi-based perovskite solid solutions for high energy density thin films

    Creator:
    Emerson, Morgan Rose
    Abstract:
    Electrical energy storage devices are currently the main limiting factor in many electrical devices and with the increasing demands placed on electrical power over fossil fuels, high energy density materials are essential. Previous research by Huang et al. on bulk (1-x)Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃-xABO₃ solid solution systems led to the discovery of an...

  • Effects of doping, cation stoichiometry, and the processing conditions on the dielectric properties of high-K CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ ceramics

    Creator:
    Kwon, Seunghwa
    Abstract:
    Since its discovery, the anomalous dielectric behavior of CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ (CCTO) has drawn a great deal of attention for many possible applications in electronic devices. The origin of the giant dielectric constant in CCTO was explained via an internal barrier layer capacitor model, and it has been reported that the dielectric...

  • Development of Temperature-Stable Relaxor Dielectrics for High Energy Density Capacitor Applications

    Creator:
    McCue, Connor
    Abstract:
    High performance dielectric materials are needed for high power SiC- or GaN-based electronics which combine the best features of high energy density, low dielectric loss and high reliability and for advanced high-speed and high-voltage energy storage where temperature stability plays an important role in material properties. An ideal capacitor for...

  • Fabrication and geometrical characterization of metal and metal-dielectric composite periodic nanostructures

    Creator:
    Bhowmik, Siddhartha
    Abstract:
    Periodic metal and metal-dielectric composite nanostructures have been of interest from the field of plasmonics and metamaterial fabrication. In order to exploit the behavior of these unique materials in the visible region of the optical spectrum, these structures need to be significantly shorter than the wavelength of response, and hence...

  • Structure and piezoelectric properties of lead-free bismuth-based perovskite solid solutions

    Creator:
    Huang, Chien-Chih
    Abstract:
    A new group of lead free piezoelectric perovskite solid solutions, (1-x)Bi(B'B")O₃-xABO₃, were obtained via solid-state processing techniques. The solubility of unstable perovskite Bi(B'B")O₃ compounds into stable perovskite compounds was found to be related to the tolerance factor of the ABO₃ perovskite endmembers. The morphotropic phase boundary (MBP) in perovskite solid...

  • Development of complex perovskite dielectric ceramics for high temperature capacitor applications

    Creator:
    Raengthon, Natthaphon
    Abstract:
    Dielectric ceramics designed for capacitor applications for use in extreme environments, such as high temperatures, high voltages, or high-pressure environments, are in great demand. Existing capacitor technology fails to perform within these extreme conditions or such environments. The development of new dielectric ceramic materials for high temperature capacitor applications is...

  • Defect Mechanisms in Bismuth-based Perovskites

    Creator:
    Kumar, Nitish
    Abstract:
    The aim of this research is to develop a fundamental understanding of the dominant defect species and the relevant defect equilibrium conditions for bismuth-containing perovskites to help guide the development of these materials for emerging applications. This is of paramount importance for many demanding applications, because ultimately the defect equilibria...

  • Relaxor characteristic and phase evolution of complex perovskite barium titanate bismuth zinc titanate ceramics

    Creator:
    Triamnak, Narit
    Abstract:
    Relaxor characteristic of the solid solution (1-x)BaTiO₃-(x)Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ (BTBZT) was investigated in this research. X-ray diffraction technique and Raman spectroscopy revealed the crystal structure of BT-BZT at various compositions. For compositions with x ≤ 0.08, the solid solutions exhibited clear tetragonal symmetry and transitioned to pseudo-cubic symmetry as the content of...
