The experimental values for a complete data set were critically analyzed. The experimental va- lues were fitted to some empirical equations as the functions of temperature and/or compositions of the solution. At given temperatures and compositions of glycine, the dependences of the relative permittivities on the molar fraction of glucose（Glc） and glycine（Gly） can be described by a linear or quadratic equation, respectively. A comparison of the εGlc values of glucose solution with the εGla values of galactose solution indicates that the relative permittivities of the ternary solutions containing glucose are smaller than those containing galactose under the same conditions. This difference arises from the slight difference in the stereo-structures of the saccharide molecules.展开更多

The extended electron consists of a negatively charged core −q0which is surrounded by an assembly (an aggregation) of tiny static electric dipoles −q,+q. When subjected to an external field, electromagnetic forces are produced on these point charges to give rise to various properties of the electron. Three major properties of the electron that will be explored in this theory are: 1) the effective electric charge of the electron;2) the mechanism of the spin of the electron;3) the mechanism of radiation of the electron. The investigation of these properties leads to various innovative explanations for the generation of anti-particle, the orbital of the electron, the strong nuclear forces between nucleons … Other topics are also listed in the following content.展开更多

The microstructures of A1203 fibers with and without PyC coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of deposition time of PyC on the DC conductivity （ad） of A1203 filaments and complex permittivity of fabrics at X band （8.2-12.4 GHz） were investigated. The values of Crd and complex permittivity increase with increasing deposition time of PyC. The electron relaxation polarization and conductance loss were supposed to be contributed to the increase of ε＇ and ε＂, respectively. In addition, the reflection loss （RL） of fabrics was calculated. The results show that the microwave absorbing properties of Al2O3 fiber fabrics can be improved by PyC coatings. The best RL results are for 60 min-deposition sample, of which the minimum value is about -40.4 dB at about 9.5 GHz and the absorbing frequency band （AFB） is about 4 GHz.展开更多

Based on the...At 105 K, strontium titanate is known to undergo an antiferrodistortive transition transform-ing from cubic to tetragonal structure as a result of the rotation of the oxygen octahedral around a cubic axe. Based on the Curie principle, the order parameter is determined to be a third-order complete symmetry polarization tensor. To take into account of quantum effects,the dielectric permittivity is measured from Landau free energy, and the Curie Weiss-type behavior is analyzed. From crystallization chemistry viewpoint, the dielectric behavior at low temperature is connected to small radius of Sr^2＋, which is much easier to move around the oxygen octahedral than Ba^2＋ in BaTiO3 or Pb^2＋ in PbTiO3.展开更多

It proved to describe an elliptic cone. The second invariant of the operator of the wave equation with respect to similarity transformations determines the special cases of degeneration including the optic axes where the polarization of the waves due to self-intersection of the dispersion surface is not uniquely determined. This second invariant is included in all investigations and it is taken into account in the illustrations. It is biquadratic in the refraction vectors and the corresponding forth-order surface in three-dimensional space splits in two separate shells and a non-rational product decomposition describing this is found. We give also a more general classification of all possible solutions of an equation with an arbitrary three-dimensional operator.展开更多

In consideration of their similarity to lunar regolith (soils and rocks) in chemical and mineral composition, the dielectric data is significative for passive and active microwave remote sensing on the Moon. This study provides the data about the dielectric properties of three kinds of scoria and two kinds of basalt in China. The method put forward in this paper is also applicable for measuring the dielectric properties of dry rocks and other granular ground materials with low complex dielectric constants. Firstly, the authors measured the e' and tanδ values of strip specimens prepared from the mixture of scoria or basalt powder and polythene with the resonant cavity perturbation method at 9370 MHz. Secondly, from the ε' and tanδ values of the mixture, the ε' s and tanδ s values of solid scoria and basalt were calculated using Lichtenecker's mixture formulae. Finally, the effective complex dielectric constants, ε' e and tanδ e , of scoria at different bulk densities were calculated. The results have shown that the ε' s and tanδ s values of all solid basaltic materials measured (both solid basaltic scoria or basalt) are approximately 7 and 0.05, respectively. With increasing bulk density of scoria, the ε' c and tanδ e values of scoria increase significantly.展开更多

Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and network analyzer to investigate the relationships among Er3+ concentration, crystal structure, surface morphology and electromagnetic properties. All the XRD patterns showed pure phase of W-type barium ferrite when x≤0.15, while the impurity phase of ErFeO3 appeared when x=0.20. The pure W-type barium ferrite showed a hexagonal flake shape. In addition, the microwave electromagnetic properties of samples were analyzed in the frequency range of 2-18 GHz. It was indicated that the electromagnetic properties were significantly improved when Er3+ doping content was 0.10. The reasons were also discussed using electromagnetic theory. The optimized ferrite exhibited excellent microwave absorption performance. The maximum of reflection loss (RL) reached about-27.4 dB and RL was below-10 dB at the frequency range from 8.4 GHz to 18 GHz, when the thickness was 2.6 mm.展开更多

A comparison of the εGlc values of glucose solution with the εGla values of galactose solution indicates that the relative permittivities of the ternary solutions containing glucose are smaller than those containing galactose under the same conditions. This difference arises from the slight difference in the stereo-structures of the saccharide molecules.

文摘The advancement of millimeter-wave communication desires the ceramic substrate with low permittivity(ԑ_(r))to meet the requirements of high transmission rates,low latency and wide bandwidth.However,the thermal conductivity of most low-ԑ_(r)ceramics is too low to deal with heat dissipation in millimeter-wave applications.In this paper,we reported novel dielectric ceramics LiMSiO_(4)(M=Ga,Sc and Y)with excellent performances of low ԑ_(r)(<10)and high thermal conductivity(>6 W mK^(−1)).Their dielectric properties in both microwave and THz were investigated,where the LiGaSiO_(4)ceramic achieved the lowest ԑ_(r)of∼5.2,the LiScSiO_(4)ceramic presented extremely low loss(Q×f∼96,700 GHz,Q=1/dielectric loss,f is resonant frequency),and the LiYSiO_(4)ceramic showed a positive temperature coefficient of f(TCF∼+32 ppm℃^(−1)).The distinct dielectric behavior was subsequently studied by structure-performance relationship in terms of M-site cations and bond parameters using bond valence theory,Phillips-Van Vechten-Levine chemical bond theory and so on.Moreover,a 36 GHz microstrip array antenna was designed and simulated using the LiGaSiO_(4) ceramic substrate,obtaining high realized gain,high radiation efficiency and low sidelobe.The result demonstrated the great potential of LiMSiO_(4)-type dielectric ceramics in millimeter-wave communications.

文摘Wettability has complex effects on the physical properties of reservoir rocks.The wettability of rocks should be characterized accurately to explore and develop oil and gas.Researchers have studied the rock wettability by dielectric spectra which contained abundant information.To study the rock wettability from dielectric dispersion,four rock samples with different wettabilities were used to design an experimental measurement flow.The relative dielectric permittivity in the frequency range of 100 Hz-10MHz and nuclear magnetic resonance T_(2)spectra of the samples were obtained.Subsequently,the wettabilities of the rocks were verified by the T_(2)spectra.The dielectric dispersions of the samples under different conditions were analyzed.Furthermore,the simulated-annealing(SA)algorithm was used to invert the wettability and related parameters of the rocks by a dielectric dispersion model.The results indicated that the dielectric permittivity of lipophilic rocks is lower than that of hydrophilic rocks,and that the dielectric permittivity of hydrophilic rocks decreases faster as the frequency increases.The dielectric permittivity in the high-frequency band is associated with the water content.The rock wettability parameters obtained via inversion agreed well with the T_(2)spectra,and the saturation index of the rocks.The errors between the rock permittivity calculated by the inverted parameters and the experimentally measured values were minor,indicating that rock wettability could be accurately characterized using dielectric dispersion data.

文摘In this paper,a novel SrEr_(2)O_(4)ceramic with relative densities exceeding 96% was synthesized by a conve ntional solid-state reaction method.Furthermo re,investigations of the correlations between its crystal structure,microstructure,and microwave dielectric properties were carried out.Rietveld refinements show that the SrEr_(2)O_(4)ceramics crystallize in the orthorhombic with the space group Pnam.The SrEr_(2)O_(4)ceramic sintered at 1575℃ exhibits the good performance of permittivity(ε_(r))=14.44,quality factor(Q × f)=23271 GHz,and resonant temperature frequency coefficient(τ_(f))=-21.5 ppm/℃,which is attributed to its high lattice energy,packing fraction,and relative density.In addition,to satisfy the requirement of temperature stability for communication devices,near-zero τ_(f) value is obtained by adding CaTiO_(3) at the cost of a small quality factor loss.The SrEr_(2)O_(4)+1.25 wt% CaTiO_(3) composite exhibits decent properties with ε_(r)=18.57,Q×f=19940 GHz,and T_(f)=+3.99 ppm/℃,making it an ideal candidate for microwave band applications.

文摘A series of Sr_(1-1.5x)Lu_(x)TiO_(3)(x=0,0.005,0.01,0.015,and 0.02)ceramics was sintered under an air at-mosphere through the solid-state reaction method.The results show that doping with Lu^(3+)consid-erably enhances material permittivity.The ceramic with x=0.01 exhibits a colossal permittivity(CP)of~101000 with a tanδof~0.16 at a frequency of 1 kHz,demonstrating enhanced stability over a wide temperature(30-300℃)and frequency(102-106 Hz)range.Based on the analysis of dielectric relaxation,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and the universal dielectric response law,the CP effect is primarily due to the formation of defect dipoles,which are correlated with the presence of oxygen vacancies,such as Ti^(3+)-V_(O)^(¨)-Ti^(3+),V_(Sr)″-V_(O)^(¨),LuTi′-V_(O)^(¨)-Ti^(3+),and Lu_(Sr)·-Lu_(Ti)′-V_(O)^(¨)-Ti^(3+).These defect dipoles serve to pin electrons,limiting long-range transitions,and enhancing local po-larization.Doping with Lu^(3+)also induces a secondary Lu_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7)phase,which was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS).The results generated in this study can inform the development and application of new CP materials based on SrTiO_(3).

文摘Copper calcium titanate(CaCu_(3)Ti_(4)O_(12),CCTO)ceramics with colossal permittivity have gained widespread concern because of their potential application in modern electronic devices with miniaturization and integration.However,the extent of grain and grain boundary contribution to the colossal permittivity of CCTO-based ceramics based on the internal barrier layer capacitor(IBLC)model is still in debate.This affects their electrical performance optimization and real-world applications.In this study,a series of novel lead-free colossal permittivity ceramic s,xLiCuNb_(3)O_(9-)(1-x)CaCu_(3)Ti_(4)O_(12)(LCNOCCTO),were designed and prepared using a solid-phase reaction approach.The colossal permittivity response mechanism of LCNO-CCTO ceramics was further explored by performing the complex impedance spectrum and analyzing the activation energy from the grain and grain boundary contribution viewpoint.As a result,the LCNO-CCTO ceramics present the cubic perovskite structure with the space groups of■.All the LCNOCCTO ceramics exhibit the significantly enhanced colossal permittivity(10^(5))response,and the ceramic with x=0.15 shows the highest permittivity of about 4.64×10^(5)(20 Hz,room temperature)accompanied by a lower grain resistance of 9.61Ωand larger grain activation energy of 0.21 eV.The enhanced colossal permittivity response is primarily attributed to the great electrical response inside grains of LCNO-CCTO ceramics,resulting from a smaller grain resistance.Also importantly,the high-frequency dielectric relaxation characteristics are improved by incorporating the LCNO into CCTO ceramics as an ion form.Accordingly,the LCNO-CCTO ceramics show a suppressed high-frequency dielectric loss.These results can provide a thorough knowledge and useful optimization strategy for developing high-performance colossal permittivity materials.
文摘This theory proposes an extended model of the electron based on the image of the screened electron in the concept of vacuum polarization of QED. The extended electron consists of a negatively charged core −q0which is surrounded by an assembly (an aggregation) of tiny static electric dipoles −q,+q. When subjected to an external field, electromagnetic forces are produced on these point charges to give rise to various properties of the electron. Three major properties of the electron that will be explored in this theory are: 1) the effective electric charge of the electron;2) the mechanism of the spin of the electron;3) the mechanism of radiation of the electron. The investigation of these properties leads to various innovative explanations for the generation of anti-particle, the orbital of the electron, the strong nuclear forces between nucleons … Other topics are also listed in the following content.

文摘The pyrolytic carbon （PyC） coatings were fabricated on A1203 fiber fabrics by the method of chemical vapor deposition （CVD）. The microstructures of A1203 fibers with and without PyC coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of deposition time of PyC on the DC conductivity （ad） of A1203 filaments and complex permittivity of fabrics at X band （8.2-12.4 GHz） were investigated. The values of Crd and complex permittivity increase with increasing deposition time of PyC. The electron relaxation polarization and conductance loss were supposed to be contributed to the increase of ε＇ and ε＂, respectively. In addition, the reflection loss （RL） of fabrics was calculated. The results show that the microwave absorbing properties of Al2O3 fiber fabrics can be improved by PyC coatings. The best RL results are for 60 min-deposition sample, of which the minimum value is about -40.4 dB at about 9.5 GHz and the absorbing frequency band （AFB） is about 4 GHz.
文摘At 105 K, strontium titanate is known to undergo an antiferrodistortive transition transform-ing from cubic to tetragonal structure as a result of the rotation of the oxygen octahedral around a cubic axe. Based on the Curie principle, the order parameter is determined to be a third-order complete symmetry polarization tensor. To take into account of quantum effects,the dielectric permittivity is measured from Landau free energy, and the Curie Weiss-type behavior is analyzed. From crystallization chemistry viewpoint, the dielectric behavior at low temperature is connected to small radius of Sr^2＋, which is much easier to move around the oxygen octahedral than Ba^2＋ in BaTiO3 or Pb^2＋ in PbTiO3.
文摘We derive for crystal optics in coordinate-invariant way the cone approximation of refraction vectors in the neighborhood of optic axes and determine its invariants and eigenvectors. It proved to describe an elliptic cone. The second invariant of the operator of the wave equation with respect to similarity transformations determines the special cases of degeneration including the optic axes where the polarization of the waves due to self-intersection of the dispersion surface is not uniquely determined. This second invariant is included in all investigations and it is taken into account in the illustrations. It is biquadratic in the refraction vectors and the corresponding forth-order surface in three-dimensional space splits in two separate shells and a non-rational product decomposition describing this is found. We give also a more general classification of all possible solutions of an equation with an arbitrary three-dimensional operator.

文摘Dielectric data for volcanic scoria and basalt on the earth at microwave frequency are extremely sparse, and also crucial for volcanic terrains imaging, and development. In consideration of their similarity to lunar regolith (soils and rocks) in chemical and mineral composition, the dielectric data is significative for passive and active microwave remote sensing on the Moon. This study provides the data about the dielectric properties of three kinds of scoria and two kinds of basalt in China. The method put forward in this paper is also applicable for measuring the dielectric properties of dry rocks and other granular ground materials with low complex dielectric constants. Firstly, the authors measured the e' and tanδ values of strip specimens prepared from the mixture of scoria or basalt powder and polythene with the resonant cavity perturbation method at 9370 MHz. Secondly, from the ε' and tanδ values of the mixture, the ε' s and tanδ s values of solid scoria and basalt were calculated using Lichtenecker's mixture formulae. Finally, the effective complex dielectric constants, ε' e and tanδ e , of scoria at different bulk densities were calculated. The results have shown that the ε' s and tanδ s values of all solid basaltic materials measured (both solid basaltic scoria or basalt) are approximately 7 and 0.05, respectively. With increasing bulk density of scoria, the ε' c and tanδ e values of scoria increase significantly.

文摘Er3+-substituted W-type barium ferrites Ba1-xErx(Zn0.3Co0.7)2Fe16O27 (x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) were synthesized by polymer adsorbent combustion method. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and network analyzer to investigate the relationships among Er3+ concentration, crystal structure, surface morphology and electromagnetic properties. All the XRD patterns showed pure phase of W-type barium ferrite when x≤0.15, while the impurity phase of ErFeO3 appeared when x=0.20. The pure W-type barium ferrite showed a hexagonal flake shape. In addition, the microwave electromagnetic properties of samples were analyzed in the frequency range of 2-18 GHz. It was indicated that the electromagnetic properties were significantly improved when Er3+ doping content was 0.10. The reasons were also discussed using electromagnetic theory. The optimized ferrite exhibited excellent microwave absorption performance. The maximum of reflection loss (RL) reached about-27.4 dB and RL was below-10 dB at the frequency range from 8.4 GHz to 18 GHz, when the thickness was 2.6 mm.
