화학양론적 $BaTiO_3$의 소결은 고온의 에너지를 필요로 하며, 내부전극과 세라믹충의 동시소성과정에서 Ni이 세라믹층으로의 확산이 발생되어 PTC의 물성저하를 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 저온에서 액상을 형성하여 소결온도를 낮추는 것으로 알려진 산화물 및 비산화물계 소결첨가제가 적층 PTC 세라믹스의 미세구조 및 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 소결과정에서 분해되어 기체를 형성하는 BN, $Li_2CO_3$, LiF의 경우 기공율을 증가시켜 산소의 이동경로를 형성하였으며, 이는 입계의 재산화를 용이하게 하여 PTC 효과를 보였다.

A lead-free bulk ceramic having a chemical formula $Ba_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}(Ti_{0.8}Zr_{0.1}Ce_{0.1})O_3$ (further termed as BCTZCO) is synthesized using mixed oxide route. The structural, dielectric, impedance, and conductivity properties, as well as the modulus of the synthesized sample are discussed in the present work. Analysis of X-ray diffraction data obtained at room temperature reveals the existence of some impurity phases. The natural surface morphology shows close packing of grains with few voids. Attempts have been made to study the (a) effect of microstructures containing grains, grain boundaries, and electrodes on impedance and capacitive characteristics, (b) relationship between properties and crystal structure, and (c) nature of the relaxation mechanism of the prepared samples. The relationship between the structure and physical properties is established. The frequency and temperature dependence of the dielectric properties reveal that this complex system has a high dielectric constant and low tangent loss. An analysis of impedance and related parameters illuminates the contributions of grains. The activation energy is determined for only the high temperature region in the temperature dependent AC conductivity graph. Deviation from the Debye behavior is seen in the Nyquist plot at different temperatures. The relaxation mechanism and the electrical transport properties in the sample are investigated with the help of various spectroscopic (i.e., dielectric, modulus, and impedance) techniques. This lead free sample will serve as a base for device engineering.

0.75BF-0.25BT ceramics were prepared by sintering at $980-1040^{\circ}C$ in air or under atmosphere powder. A sample with 1 mole %-excess $Bi_2O_3$ was also prepared to compensate for $Bi_2O_3$-evaporation. Physical and piezoelectric properties of these three samples were compared. When the sintering temperature increased from $980^{\circ}C$ to $1040^{\circ}C$, the density of the sample sintered in air decreased continuously due to Bi-evaporation. Due to the suppression of Bi-evaporation, the sample sintered under atmosphere powder had a higher density at sintering temperatures above $1000^{\circ}C$ than did the sample sintered in air. The addition of 1 mole %-excess $Bi_2O_3$ successfully compensated for Bi-evaporation and kept the density at the higher value until $1020^{\circ}C$. Grain size increased continuously when the sintering temperature increased from 980 to $1040^{\circ}C$, irrespective of the sintering atmosphere. When the sintering temperature increased, the piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) and the electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) increased for all samples. The sample with 1 mole % excess-$Bi_2O_3$ showed the highest density and the best piezoelectric properties at sintering temperature of $1020^{\circ}C$.

Electrical properties of the laminated SMD-type PTC thermistor for microcircuit protection were investigated as a function of calcination and sintering temperature. $BaTiO_3$ with $Y_2O_3$ and $MnO_2$ were calcined at 1000 to $1150^{\circ}C$ for 2h and the laminated SMD-type PTC thermistor was sintered at 1350 to $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2h in a reduced atmosphere (1% $H_2/N_2$). Sintered density of the sample was dependent on the calcination and sintering temperature. Electrical properties of the sintered samples were strongly dependent on the densities of samples. For the samples with density below 4.6 g/$cm^3$, the insulator characteristics were observed, while PTC jump characteristics (R150/R30) were disappeared for the sample with density above 5.05 g/$m^3$. Optimal PTC characteristics were obtained for the sintered samples with density of 5.05 g/$m^3$. The laminated SMD-type PTC thermistor prepared by calcination at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2h and sintering at $1270^{\circ}C$ for 2h showed the room temperature resistivity of $11{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and PTC jump characteristics of $10^2$ order.

When looked upon as a polycrystalline, ceramics have two basic differences from a single crystal. One is that there exist grain boundaries, the other is that the crystal axes of each small crystal are arranged in random directions. But the crystal axes fo small crystals which compose ceramics may be made to have the tendency of being arranged in a specific direction. This is called that the crystal axes are oriented. The degree of the direction arrangement of the crystal axes is called orientation. In order to orient the crystal axes effectively, the fiberous barium titanates were made through KDC method and the ion exchange method. And then they were arranged through pressing, doctor blade, and syringe. As the result of Lotgering evaluation, the sample oriented through syringe showed the highest orientation. After sintering, though the most particles that had been fiberous shaped became global shape viewed through SEM, the orientation of the crystals was reinforced by means of sintering.

Vibration and acoustic noise arise from the Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) because of the piezoelectric effect of dielectric substance which consists of $BaTiO_3$. However, the phenomenon is not analyzed clearly because the MLCC shows different behavior compare with ordinary piezoelectric substance like PZT. Thus, MLCC was tested under the several DC bias conditions and heat treatment effect was also tested and analyzed in this paper. From the test, MLCC shows not only piezoelectric effect but also another physical phenomenon like electrostriction. Also, it was verified that DC bias affect to the piezoelectric constant of MLCC.

A full-factorial design of experiments with three input factors and two levels for each factor including center points was utilized for the preparation and characterization of twelve types of $BaTiO_3$ slips for tape casting. Ceramic powders with different particle sizes, different milling methods such as high energy milling and conventional ball milling, and two types of dispersant with different polymeric species were chosen as input factors in order to investigate their effects on slip and on green tape properties. Tape casting, a small rectangular-shaped K-square preparation, characterization and quantitative data analysis using statistical software were followed. Ceramic powder was the most significant among three input factors for the output responses of slip viscosity and green tape density, showing more favorable results with large particles than with very fine ones. In addition, high energy milling for only 30 min was more efficient than 24h of conventional ball milling in terms of powder dispersion and milling. The optimum condition based on the experimental results was a slip exposed to high energy milling with large ceramic particles along with a methylethyl acetate dispersant.

In this study, the magnetic(static and high-frequency) and microwave absorbing properties have been investigated in Ru-Co substituted M-hexaferrites($BaFe_{12-2x}Ru_xCo_xO_{19}$). The powders and sintered specimens were prepared by conventional ceramic processing technique. With the calcined powders, the composite specimens were prepared using the silicone rubber as a matrix material. The substitution ratio of Ru-Co to obtain in-plane magnetic anisotropy, thus having the minimum coercivity, is much smaller (about x=0.3) than the previously reported Ti-Co substituted specimen. Owing to this low substitution, the specimen has a large value of saturation magnetization($M_s$=65 emu/g). Ferromagnetic resonance behavior and microwave absorbing frequency band is strongly influnced by the coercvity which can be controlled by Ru-Co substitution ratio. It is found that the M-hexaferrites with planar magnetic anisotropy by doping Ru-Co in both sintered and composite form have superior microwave absorbing properties in GHz frequency range.

For the aim of thin microwave absorbers used in mobile telecommunication frequency band, this study proposed a high permittivity dielectrics(λ/4 spacer) coated with ITO thin films of 377 $\Omega$/sq(impedance transformer). High frequency dielectric properties of ferroelectric ceramics, electrical properties of ITO thin films and microwave absorbing properties of ITO/dielectrics were investigated. Ferroelectric materials including $BaTiO_3$(BT), 0.9Pb($Mg_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)$O_3$-0.1 $PbTiO_3$(PMN-PT), 0.8 Pb (Mg$_{1}$3/$Nb_{2}$3/)$O_3$-0.2 Pb($Zn_{1}$3$_Nb{2}$3/)$O_3$(PMN-PZN) were prepared by ceramic processing for high permittivity dielectrics,. The ferroelectric materials show high dielectric constant and dielectric loss in the microwave frequency range. The microwave absorbance (at 2 ㎓) of BT, 0.9PMN-0.1PT, and 0.8PMN-0.2PZN were found to be 60%(at a thickness of 3.5 mm), 20% (2.5 mm), and 30% (2.5 mm), respectively. By coating the ITO thin films on the ferroelectric substrates with λ/4 thickness, the microwave absorbance is greatly improved. Particularly, when the surface resistance of ITO films is closed of 377 $\Omega$/sq, the reflection loss is reduced to -20 ㏈(99% absorbance). This is attributed to the wave impedance matching controlled by ITO thin films at a given thickness of high permittivity dielectrics of λ/4 (3.5 mm for BT, 2.5 mm for PMN-PT and PMN-PZN at 2 ㎓). It is, therefore, successfully proposed that the ITO/ferroelectric materials with controlled surface resistance and high dielectric constant can be useful as a thin microwave absorbers in mobile telecommunication frequency band.
