The phase and structure of the ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and microwave dielectric properties measurements. These samples were identified as single phase and adopted A4B3O12-type cation-deficient hexagonal perovskite structure, which can be described as consisting of identical perovskite-like blocks, three corner-sharing BO6 octahedra thick, separated by layers of vacant octahedral. These ceramics have high dielectric constants in the range of 48-42, high quality factors (Q×f) up to 38 000 GHz, and low temperature coefficient of resonant frequencies (τf) in the range of (-40-+6)×10-6℃-1.

Compared with other glass hosts, the gain bandwidth properties of Er3+ in TWN glass is close to that of bismuth glasses, and larger than those of tellurite, germanate, silicate and phosphate glasses. The broad and flat 4I13/2-4I15/2 emission and the large stimulated emission cross-section of Er3+ ions around 1.5um can be used as host material for potential broadband optical amplifier in the wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) network system.展开更多

The results show that Eu2O3 doped 5ZnO-20Nb2O5-75TeO2 glasses have large n2 and ultra-fast temporal response. Ra- man spectra show that Eu2O3 dopant induces the changes in the local structure of glasses. The higher the dopant concen- tration, the larger the nonlinear refractive n2 and the faster the temporal response. The enhancement on the third-order optical nonlinearities can be attributed to the deformation of the electronic clouds in [TeO4] enhanced by Eu2O3 dopant.展开更多

A series of Y2Ti2O7 microwave dielectric ceramics were synthesized by conventional solid-state method. For improving the dielectric properties of Y2Ti2O7 system, Bi2O3, Nd2O3 and Nb2O5 were added and their effects on phase composition, micro-structure, and dielectric properties at microwave frequencies were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The queuing score method for multi-target orthogonal design was used to obtain the optimum prescription. The results showed that the Y2Ti2O7 ceramics with 8 wt.% Bi2O3 and 1 mol.% Nd2O3-Nb2O5 were well sintered at 1350 ℃, exhibiting excellent dielectric characteristics, i.e. εr≈76, Qf≈18980 GHz, τf =＋25.5 ppm/℃.展开更多
