We report the unexpectedly excellent dielectric properties of amorphous thin films with compositions in the Bi–Ti–O system. Films were deposited by RF magnetron reactive co-sputtering. In the composition range of 0.5 x Bi1−xTixOy

Effective piezoelectric properties, electromechanical coupling factors (ECF) and figures of merit (FOM) are studied in lead-free 0–3-type composites based on novel ferroelectric 0.965(K0.48Na0.52)(Nb0.96Sb0.04)O3–0.035Bi0.5Na0.5Zr

This work outlines the characterization of epoxy resin [Bisphenol A-(epichlorhydrin): epoxy] and hardener [N(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-1,3-propylenediamine] with various inorganic nano-fillers. Dielectric characterizations of epoxy,

Dense (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 lead-free ceramics with the simple composition were prepared via sintering in low oxygen partial pressure (pO2, ∼10−12 atm) atmosphere and adding LiF. All the ceramics have pure orthorhombic structure. Compar

Polycrystalline Na0.9Ba0.1Nb0.9(Sn0.5Ti0.5)0.1O3 is prepared by the solid-state reaction technique. The formation of single-phase material was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study and it was found to be a tetragonal phase at ro

BaTiO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method using amorphous phase TiO2 precursor as the Ti-source. The microstructure and phase structure were determined using XRD, SEM and Raman spectroscopy analysis results. The
