The microstructure was identified by X-ray diffraction method and scanning electron microscope was also employed to observe the surface morphologies. It is found that （La,Sb）-codoped barium strontium titanate ceramics exhibit typical perovskite structure and the average grain size decreases dramatically with increasing the content of Sb2O3. Both La3＋ ions and Sb3＋ ions occupy the A-sites in perovskite lattice. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of barium strontium titanate based ceramics are obviously influenced by La2O3 as well as Sb2O3 addition content. The tetragonal-cubic phase transition of La2O3 modified barium strontium titanate ceramics is of second order and the Curie temperature shifts to lower value with increasing the La2O3 doping content. The phase transition of （La,Sb）-codoped barium strontium titanate ceramics diffuses and the deviation from Curie-Weiss law becomes more obvious with the increase in Sb2O3 concentration. The temperature corresponding to the dielectric constant maximum of （La,Sb）-codoped barium strontium titanate ceramics decreases with increasing the Sb2O3 content, which is attributed to the replacement of host ions by the Sb3＋ ions.展开更多

The wires were investigated using X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, Ultra-violet visible （UV-vis）, photoluminescence （PL） and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD measurement shows that the prepared SrTiO3 submicro-wircs hardly have impurity phases. The SEM and TEM images demonstrate that the scalable wires, which need to be processed at the reaction temperature of 180℃ for about 48 hours, are not composed of single crystals. The PL shows that the wire-like SrTiO3 has emission peaks at the wavelengths of 568 and 585 nm. Further, the Raman spectroscopy reveals structural changes in the products through different reaction time.展开更多

In this paper, we briefly review experimental methods that have been used to tune the carrier density and mobility of this q2DEG. These methods can be classified into two categories： growth-related tuning （i.e. substrate, growth temperature, oxygen pressure, post-annealing, LaAlO3 thickness, stoichiometry, and capping layers） and post-growth tuning （i.e. electrostatic field gating, conductive atomic force microscopy and surface adsorbates）. Taken together, these methods enable the broad tuning of the electronic properties of this interface.展开更多

The major secondary influencing factors and the influencing tendency of various factor＇s levels for the dielectric properties of BST ceramics were obtained. The optimum formula for maximum dielectric constant （ε） and for minimum dielectric loss （tanδ） was obtained under the experimental conditions. The BST ceramics with optimum comprehensive properties was obtained by means of orthogonal design experiments, with the sintering temperature at 1200 ℃, the dielectric constant 5239, the dielectric loss 0.0097, withstand electric voltage over 6 MV·m^-1, capacitance temperature changing ence of various components on the providing the basis for preparation rate （△C/C） - 75.67%, and suited for Y5V character. The mechanism of the infludielectric properties of medium temperature sintering BST ceramics was studied, thus of multilayer capacitor ceramics and single-chip capacitor ceramics.展开更多
