Abstract In this work, microwave planar resonators are printed with silver nanoparticle inks using two printing technologies, inkjet printing and aerosol jet printing, on polyimide substrates. The microwave resonators used in this paper operate in the frequency band 5–21 GHz. The printing parameters, such as the number of printed layers of silver nanoparticle inks, drop spacing, and sintering time, were optimized to ensure repeatable and conductive test patterns. To improve the electrical conductivity of silver deposits, which are first dried using a hot plate or an oven, two complementary sintering methods are used: intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser sintering. This paper presents the results of different strategies for increasing the final quality factor of printed planar resonators and the trade-offs (sintering time versus final conductivity/unloaded Q) that can be reached. Improvement of the resonator unloaded quality factor (up to +55%) and of the equivalent electrical conductivity (up to 14.94 S/μm) at 14 GHz have been obtained thanks to these nonconventional sintering techniques. The total sintering durations of different combinations of sintering techniques (hot plate, oven, IPL, and laser) range from 960 to 90 min with a final conductivity from 14.94 to 7.1 S/μm at 14 GHz, respectively.

ABSTRACTWe report here the results of our study on the properties of iodine-doped C60 thin films by IR and optical absorption, X-ray diffraction, and electrical conductivity measurements. The results show that there is no apparent structural change in the iodine-doped samples at room temperature in comparison with that of the undoped films. However, in the electrical conductivity measurements, an increase of more that one order of magnitude in the room temperature conductivity has been observed in the iodine-doped samples. In addition, while the conductivity of the undoped films shows thermally activated temperature dependence, the conductivity of the iodine-doped films was found to be constant over a fairly wide temperature range (from 20°C to 70°C) exhibiting a metallic feature.

The time-differential perturbed angular correlation technique has been used to investigate the thermal behavior of a ZrO2−13.6 mole % MgO ceramic between room temperature and 1423 K. Two different quadrupole hyperfine interactions corresponding to a tetragonal structure have been found to result on cooling the ceramic from the single-phase cubic field. One of them agrees with that depicting the pure t-ZrO2 tetragonal phase and the other one has been interpreted as describing a high-MgO-content nontransformable t'–ZrO2 phase. As temperature increases, the latter gives rise to a similar but fluctuating interaction related to the oxygen vacancies mobility and which shows a thermal behavior analogous to that already reported for the stabilized cubic ZrO2. Above 1100 K these dynamic t'-sites transform into pure tetragonal ones which behave ordinarily, suffering the t → m phase transition when cooling to room temperature. Differences found between TDPAC results and information drawn from other techniques are discussed.

AbstractB4C ceramics doped with various content of Si (0 to 2.03 at%) are prepared via hot pressing. The composition and microstructure of the ceramics are characterized by means of XRD and EPMA. Their electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of the samples are measured from room temperature up to 1500K. The electrical conductivity increases with temperature, and more rapidly after 1300K; the Seebeck coefficient of the ceramics also increases with temperature and rises to a value of about 320μVK−1. The value of the figure of merit of Si-doped B4C rises to about 4 × 10−4K−1 at 1500K.
