Detailed Model

Dielectric properties of saturated, porous geologic materials reflect the large difference in dielectric constant ε of typical saturating fluids such as water (ε = 78) or oil and gas (ε = 1–3). The deconvolution of in‐situ dielectric properties of saturated porous materials into the component parts requires a detailed model of the composite material. Defining aspects of this model in the microwave frequency regime is the primary purpose of this investigation. A model is examined in which the dielectric constant of the composite is equal to the sum of the dielectric constants of the components weighted by the volume fraction occupied by each. That model is compared to measurements at microwave frequencies made on systems consisting of glass beads, quartz, or sand saturated with chlorobenzene, 1,2‐dichloroethane, methanol, or air, and find satisfactory agreement. When water is the saturant an interaction between water and the solid matrix has an important effect on the composite dielectric constant. This interaction is observed to be particularly large for quartz and water and suppresses the composite dielectric constant quite considerably. This interaction is dependent upon the relative surface area per unit volume. An empirical relationship between the surface area and composite dielectric constant is obtained for clean, saturated, unconsolidated reservoirs. The inverse process of determining surface area from in‐situ measurements of the composite dielectric constant may be possible for clean reservoirs of known lithology. In sandstones from cores the dielectric constant is also below the volume fraction model and corrections are needed to evaluate water content.

The application of electromagnetic (EM) techniques to well logging is initiated in an environment dominated by the properties of the drilling fluids. An impulse technique using nanosecond pulses is applied to a coaxial waveguide containing drilling fluids to measure the velocity (dielectric constant ε) and absorption (attenuation coefficient α) of EM impulses. It is the large difference in dielectric constants of water and oil which makes EM propagation techniques attractive for logging. Dielectric properties of some nondispersed drilling fluids (bentonite and attapulgite clays) are found to be largely dependent upon the volume of water present. Both bentonite and attapulgite clays exhibit the same range of dielectric constants (ε = 81 → 75) when the weight percent of clay is increased to 10 percent. In contrast, the microwave attenuations of these two clays are quite different, with that of the bentonite increasing at about 4 times the rate of the attapulgite suspensions. Microwave attenuation measured for a variety of commercial drilling fluids varies over a wide range, with the lignosulfonates the largest (91 dB/m) and oil inverts the smallest (3 dB/m). The oil inverts also have a small dielectric constant (ε = 3 → 6). Temperature dependence of the attenuation for these same drilling fluids is determined in the range from 23 °C to 45 °C to indicate their behavior under in situ conditions.

High Dielectric

A novel all-polymeric material with high dielectric constant (k) has been developed by blending poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with polyamide-6 (PA6). The dependence of the dielectric properties on frequency and polymer volume fraction was investigated. When the volume fraction of PA6 is 20%, the dielectric property is better than others. The SEM investigations suggest that the enhanced dielectric behavior originates from significant interfacial interactions of polymer-polymer. The XRD demonstrate that the PA6 and PVDF affect the crystalline behavior of each component. Furthermore, the stable dielectric constants of the blends could be tuned by adjusting the content of the polymers. The created high-k all-polymeric blends represent a novel type of material that are simple technology and easy to process, and is of relatively high dielectric constant, applications as flexible electronics.

nanoand micro size Cu were employed separately and investigated comparatively. Different volume fraction of Cu was added into PVDF film in order to investigate the content of filler effect on the dielectric properties of polymer composites. XRD and SEM were used to analyze the crystalline phase and microstructure of the films. The results show that two sizes of Cu have the same peak features, and with the continuous increase of the content of Cu, it disperse better in PVDF. The dielectric constant (ε) of the composite containing 16 vol% micro-CCTO filler is 16 at 100 Hz and room temperature, and its dielectric loss (tanδ) is only 0.15, which is substantially better than others. Besides, for 18 vol% nanoCu/PVDF composite tanδis 0.25 andεis 18 at 100 Hz. Moreover,εand tanδof nanoCu/PVDF composite are both higher than those of micro-Cu/PVDF. Analysis shows that the composites with nanoCu have higher dielectric constants, which is mainly from the interfacial polarization.

To study the effect of hyperbranched polyester with different kinds of terminal groups on the thermomechanical and dielectric properties of silica–epoxy resin composite, a molecular dynamics simulation method was utilized. Pure epoxy resin and four groups of silica–epoxy resin composites were established, where the silica surface was hydrogenated, grafted with silane coupling agents, and grafted with hyperbranched polyester with terminal carboxyl and terminal hydroxyl, respectively. Then the thermal conductivity, glass transition temperature, elastic modulus, dielectric constant, free volume fraction, mean square displacement, hydrogen bonds, and binding energy of the five models were calculated. The results showed that the hyperbranched polyester significantly improved the thermomechanical and dielectric properties of the silica–epoxy composites compared with other surface treatments, and the terminal groups had an obvious effect on the enhancement effect. Among them, epoxy composite modified by the hyperbranched polyester with terminal carboxy exhibited the best thermomechanical properties and lowest dielectric constant. Our analysis of the microstructure found that the two systems grafted with hyperbranched polyester had a smaller free volume fraction (FFV) and mean square displacement (MSD), and the larger number of hydrogen bonds and greater binding energy, indicating that weaker strength of molecular segments motion and stronger interfacial bonding between silica and epoxy resin matrix were the reasons for the enhancement of the thermomechanical and dielectric properties.

To investigate the anisotropic dielectric properties of layer-structured bismuth-based ferroelectrics along different crystal directions, we fabricate devices along different crystal orientations using highly c-axis oriented Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 (BLT) thin films on (001) LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates. Experimental results have shown that the dielectric properties of the BLT films are highly anisotropic along different crystal directions. The dielectric constants (1MHz at 300 K) are 358 and 160 along [100] and [110], respectively. Dielectric nonlinearity is also detected along these crystal directions. On the other hand, a much smaller dielectric constant and no detectable dielectric nonlinearity in a field range of 0-200 kV/cm are observed for films along [001] when c-axis oriented SRO is used as the bottom electrode.

AbstractSingle phase BaxSr1−xTiO3 (BST) films (∼0.5-7 μm thick) have been deposited onto single crystal substrates (MgO, LaAlO3, SrTiO3) by pulsed laser deposition. Silver interdigitated electrodes were deposited on top of the ferroelectric film. The room temperature capacitance and dielectric Q (1/tanδ) of the film have been measured as a function of electric field (≤80 kV/cm) at 1 - 20 GHz. The dielectric properties of the film are observed to strongly depend on substrate type and post-deposition processing. After annealing (≤1000° C), it was observed that the dielectric constant and % tuning decreased and the dielectric Q increased for films deposited onto MgO, and the opposite effect was observed for films deposited onto LaA1O3. Presumably, this change in dielectric properties is due to the changes in film stress. Very thin (∼50 Å) amorphous BST films were successfully used as a stress-relief layer for the subsequently deposited crystalline BST (∼5000 Å) films to maximize % tuning and dielectric Q. Films have been deposited from stoichiometric targets and targets that have excess Ba and Sr. The additional Ba and Sr has been added to the target to compensate for deficiencies in Ba and Sr observed in the deposited BST (x=0.5) films. Films deposited from compensated targets have higher dielectric constants than films deposited from stoichiometric targets. Donor/acceptor dopants have also been added to the BST target (Mn, W, Fe ≤4 mol.%) to further improve the dielectric properties. The relationship between the dielectric constant, the dielectric Q, the change in dielectric constant with electric field is discussed.

Abstract The main focus of this study is to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the electrical properties of PVDF/BT nanocomposites. A 1.25 MeV gamma-ray was delivered to the composite films with different BaTiO3-volume fraction, ƒBT = 0–0.4, and with different absorbed doses ranged 50–2500 Gy. Dielectric properties of PVDF/BaTiO3 composites under frequencies ranged from 100 Hz to 10 MHz at room temperature were investigated using an impedance analyser. An increase of 28% in the dielectric constant and a decrease of 15% in the loss tangent were observed in the PVDF/BT 40 vol% nanocomposite film under the accumulated dose of 1500 Gy. Scanning electron microscopy provided no significant difference in microscopic structures between non-exposed and gamma-exposed materials. Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy provides gamma-induced transition of PVDF-crystalline forms as alpha-PVDF into beta-PVDF/gamma-PVDF which has been reported as one of the main factors affected the change of dielectric constant in polymers. UV–visible spectrophotometry has been observed gamma-induced red shift in the absorption edge of the PVDF/BT 40 vol% nanocomposite film from 400 nm to 420 nm under the accumulated dose of 1500 Gy. However, a blue shift is observed with increase the accumulated dose up to 2000 Gy.

The results of measurements of dielectric constants, in the vicinity of ambient temperature, are presented for eight barium titanium niobium oxides (BaTi1+2nNb4O13+4n for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; Ba3Ti4Nb4O21, Ba3Ti5Nb6O28, and Ba6Ti2Nb8O30) in polycrystalline ceramic form. The dielectric constants are in the range of 30 to 70. The results of dielectric measurements on solid solutions obtained by partial substitution of Ta for Nb are also reported. These substitutions do not dramatically increase the dielectric constants. One material, Ta-substituted Ba3Ti5Nb6O28, has a very low temperature coefficient of dielectric constant at K ≈ 45.

AbstractDielectric properties have been measured for a series of porous and fully densified silica glasses, prepared by the sol-gel technique starting from Si-methoxide or Si-fume. The results for the partially densified glasses do not show any preferred orientation for porosity. When fully densified (˜2.25 gms/cc) without any prior treatment of the gels, they have dielectric constants of ≥ 6.5 and loss factors of 0.002 at 1 MHz, compared to values of 3.8 and <0.001 for commercial fused silica. There is no corresponding anomaly in the d.c. resistivity. Elemental carbon present to the extent of 400–500 ppm is likely to be the main cause for this enhanced dielectric constant. Extensive cleaning of the gels prior to densification to remove this carbon were not completely successful pointing to the difficulty in preparing high purity, low dielectric constant glasses via the organic sol-gel route at least in the bulk form.
