Fabrication and dielectric properties of U2J dielectrics based on (Sr,Ca)ZrO3- Sr0.75Bi0.167TiO3 ceramics
摘要
Paraelectric U2J dielectrics have great potential for use in power electronics. In this work, fabrication and dielectric properties of U2J dielectrics based on (1-x)Sr0.75Bi0.167TiO3-x(SryCa1-y)ZrO3 ceramics system were investigated. The impurity phase exists in (1-x)Sr0.75Bi0.167TiO3-xCaZrO3 for x = 0.2–0.5. The content of impurity phase decreases in 0.5Sr0.75Bi0.167TiO3-0.5(SryCa1-y)ZrO3 with increasing Sr content. The optimized dielectric properties are obtained at x = 0.5 and y = 0.2, and the ceramics satisfies U2J dielectric requirements (τε = − 683 ppm °C−1) together with high dielectric constant (124.5) and low dielectric loss (< 0.001). The modified temperature coefficient for the present samples is due to the rattling effect of A-site ion for the smaller A-site bond valence. With the addition of Li2CO3 and MnCO3, the sintering temperature for dense ceramic is reduced from 1350 to 1240 °C and nonreducible characteristics are obtained when sintering in N2 atmosphere. The present ceramic has potential application for Cu electrode U2J dielectric if the sintering temperature can be lowered further.
