Radiofrequency Sensor

A sugar solution measurement system was developed based on the dielectric properties of the sucrose molecule. An ac conductivity and tan δ study as a function of the frequency was performed to find the suitable frequency range for the measuring system. The results indicate that it is possible to obtain a better response of the sensor using the frequencies as the maxima peak in tan δ appears. Developed setup for sucrose solution was appropriate to measure in a 0.15 to 1 g/mL range with an experimental error of about 3%. The proposed system improves the measurement time over some other methods.

Fenugreek Seed

Abstract The present paper studied the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and ac conductivity of fenugreek seed, a medicinal seed (Trigonella foenum graecum), within the frequency range of 10 kHz and 10 MHz and the temperature range of 30°C and 50°C. Impedance gain/phase analyser (HP 4194 A) was used to measure the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss and Julabo (temperature controller, F-25, Germany) was used for keeping the temperature of fenugreek seeds constant. It was found that the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss decrease with the increase in the frequency while the same increase with the increase in temperature and moisture content. The ac conductivity increased with the increase in frequency, moisture and temperature.

Thin films of In2Se3 were prepared by thermal evaporation. X-ray diffraction indicated that the as-grown films were amorphous in nature and became polycrystalline γ-In2Se3 films after annealing. The ac conductivity and dielectric properties of In2Se3 films have been investigated in the frequency range 100 Hz–100 kHz. The ac conductivity σ ac is found to be proportional to ωn where n < 1. The temperature dependence of both ac conductivity and the parameter n is reasonably well interpreted by the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The values of dielectric constant ε and loss tangent tan δ were found to increase with frequency and temperature. The ac conductivity of the films was found to be hopping mechanism. In I–V characteristic for different field and temperature were studied and it has been found that the conduction process is Poole–Frenkel type.

Polyaniline/ LiNi 0.5 Gd 0.08 Fe 1.92 O 4 nanocomposite was synthesized by an in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of LiNi 0.5 Gd 0.08 Fe 1.92 O 4 particles. The dielectric properties of the as-prepared polyaniline-based nanocomposite were investigated using an Agilent E4991A RF Impedance/Material Analyzer at room temperature in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 1 GHz. The real (ε') and imaginary part (ε″) of complex permittivity, and dissipation factor ( tan δ) were found to be frequency-dependent, which decreased with increasing of frequency. It was shown that ε', ε″ and tan δ of the nanocomposite were lower than those of pristine polyaniline. In order to investigate the dielectric process in detail, the complex electric modulii derived from the complex permittivity were analyzed as a function of the frequency.

Multilayer Dielectric

This paper reports on the dielectric properties of multilayer PVDF-TrFE/PMMA:TiO2 thin film. Two samples were fabricated on ITO substrates; one with PVDF-TrFE only and another PMMA:TiO2 on PVDF-TrFE on (PVDF-TrFE/PMMA:TiO2). Both samples were produced by spin coating method. Dielectric properties were characterized using impedance spectroscopic. Dielectric constant, k, capacitance and dielectric loss, tan δ values of PMMA:TiO2/PVDF-TrFE were measured in the frequency range 0 – 50 kHz. The result for dielectric loss did not show any significant different between the samples with and without nanocomposite PVDF-TrFE layer. However, the dielectric constant are affected when depositing a nanocomposite PVDF-TrFE layer on PMMA:TiO2. The dielectric constant is decreased by 0.3 from 7.9 to 7.6.

In this work, (1-x)CaCu3Ti4O12/xAl2O3 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1) composite samples were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The dielectric properties of the samples were investigated at frequency range of 20 – 106 Hz. X-ray diffractogram results show that the samples with Al2O3 sintered at 1040 °C/10 h are mixed phase and consist of CaCu3Ti4O12, CuAl2O4, TiO2 and Al2O3. The average grain size of the samples increased greatly for x = 0.01, then abruptly depressed for x ≥ 0.03. Al2O3-added (x = 0.01) has been shown to increase the dielectric permittivity (ε’) up to ~5000 over frequency range of 102 – 105 Hz, while retaining the dielectric loss (tan δ ~ 0.15) at 1 kHz. With further increase of Al2O3 content, the ε’ and tan δ values of the samples are decreased monotonically in all frequency ranges. The improvement of dielectric properties in the composite sample was attributed to the enhanced grain boundary resistance.

Abstract Electrical impedance characteristics of polyaniline (PANI)-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA)/divinylbenzene (DVB) composite were evaluated as a function of PANI content in the frequency range of 102–108 Hz. Polymer composites were prepared by a one-step thermal process where doping of the PANI and curing of the polymer matrix DVB have occurred simultaneously in the presence of a strong protonic acid, i.e. DBSA. The alternating current (AC) conductivity value with respect to frequency of the PANI-DBSA/DVB composite shows a direct current (DC) plateau up to an extensive frequency range. Almost metal-like behavior is obtained with such highly conductive plastic material. In all frequency regions, composites with higher PANI concentration showed a frequency independent behavior, while in the case of neat composites without PANI, a frequency dependent behavior is observed. A plot of the real part of complex impedance vs. frequency and a plot of AC conductivity of the composites indicate that the high electrical conductivity in high PANI concentration composites is because of the direct contacts between filler PANI particles. In this work, AC conductivity behavior and dielectric properties of very highly conductive thermoset composites are presented, and it is shown that conductivity is frequency independent for a very high frequency range (up to 108 Hz).

This paper presents a study of the structure and dielectric properties of Eu-doped SrBi2Nb2O9 ceramics prepared by co-precipitation route and sintered at 850?C. The materials were examined using XRD and FTIR methods. XRD data indicated the formation of well crystallized structure of the pure and doped SrBi2Nb2O9, without the presence of undesirable phases. FTIR spectra do not bring a significant shift in the band positions. Moreover, the AC conductivity, dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the ceramics were determined through the frequency range [50 kHz-1MHz]. In particular, the dielectric constant (??) and dielectric losses (tan ?) of the SrBi2Nb2O9 and SrBi1.6Eu0.4Nb2O9 ceramics were measured as a function of temperature at various frequencies.

The effect of cadmium substitution and sintering temperature on the microstructure and dielectric properties of nano ZnCd x Fe 2-x O 4 ferrites (x=0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5) has been investigated and prepared by egg-white technique. Electrical conductivity and dielectric measurements have been analysed in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. The variation of the real (ε′) and imaginary (ε″) part of dielectric constant, AC conductivity (σ AC ) and loss tangent ( tan δ) with frequency has been studied. It follows the Maxwell–Wagner model based on the interfacial polarization in consonance with the Koop's phenomenological theory. It is found that the permittivity of ZnCd x Fe 2-x O 4 ferrites improved and shows a maximum value (~9 × 103) at 100 Hz for the x=0.1 sample.
