Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 thin films doped with K were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by the chemical solution deposition method. The structure, surface morphology and the dielectric and tunable properties of Bao.6Sro.4TiO3 thin films have been studied in detail. The K content in Ba0.6Sro.4TiO3 thin films has a strong influence on the material＇s properties including surface morphology and the dielectric and tunable properties. It was found that the Curie temperature of K-doped Bao.6Sr0.4TiO3 films shifts to a higher value compared with that of undoped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 thin films, which leads to a dielectric enhancement of K-doped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 films at room temperature. At the optimized content of 0.02 mol, the dielectric loss tangent is reduced significantly from 0.057 to 0.020. Meanwhile, the tunability is enhanced obviously from 26% to 48% at the measured frequency of 1 MHz and the maximum value of the figure of merit is 23.8. This suggests that such films have potential applications for tunable devices.
Ni1-xZnxFe2O4(0≤x≤1,in steps of 0.1) nanocrystallines were synthesized by sol-gel route.The doping effects of zinc on structural,magnetic and microwave absorption properties were investigated in detail.X-ray diffraction(XRD) results show that all the samples are single-phase spinel structure.The magnetic and microwave absorption properties are strongly dependent on the zinc content,which can be understood in terms of the cations redistribution in spinel tetrahedral and octahedral sites with the increase of zinc content.The magnetic measurement shows the antiferromagnetic nature of the samples for x=0.9 and x=1.0.The saturation magnetization reaches the maximum of 3.35μB/f.u.at x=0.5.The optimal reflection loss(RL) of-29.6 dB is found at 6.5 GHz for an absorber thickness of 5 mm.The RL values exceeding 10 dB are obtained for the absorber in the range of 3.9-8.9 GHz.These Ni1-xZnxFe2O4 nanocrystallines may be attractive candidates for electromagnetic wave absorption materials.
