Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are essential passive components in the electronics industry, known for their high capacitance due to the multilayer structure comprising inner electrodes and dielectric layers. Nickel electrodes are commonly used in MLCCs as the inner electrodes, and to prevent oxidation during the co-firing of the dielectric layers with nickel electrodes, reducing atmosphere is required. However, reducing atmosphere sintering can also induce a reduction of the dielectric, necessitating precise control of oxygen partial pressure. To explore the possibility of using oxide electrodes that do not require reducing atmosphere sintering, we analyze the electrical properties of nickel oxide (NiO) as a potential candidate. As a preliminary study on its use as an alternative inner electrode, the correlation between microstructure and electrical properties of bulk NiO under different sintering conditions was investigated to gain insights into the conduction mechanisms of the material.

The electrorheological (ER) behavior of suspensions in silicone oil of phosphated cellulose particles (average particle size 17.77 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) was investigated at room temperature with electric fields up to 2.5 KV/mm. In this paper, for development of anhydrous ER suspensions using at wide temperature range, we would like to know fundamental understandings on the ER activity. As a first step, the anhydrous ER suspensions dispersed the phosphated cellulose particles were measured, and not only the electrical characteristics such as dielectric constant, current density and electrical conductivity but also the rheological properties on strength of electric field and quantity of dispersed phase were studied. From the experimental results, the anhydrous ER suspensions dispersed phosphated cellulose particles showed a stable current density and very high performance of ER effect $(\tau/\tau_0=1030)$ on the 2.5 KV/mm and the dynamic yield stress $(\tau_y)$ was in exponential proportion to the strength of electric fields.

The objective of this study is to deposited the preparation of STO dielectric thin films on Ag/barrier-mater/Si(N-type 100) bottom electrode using a conventional rf-magnetron sputtering technique with a ceramic target under various conditions. It is demonstrated that the leakage current of films are strongly dependent on the atmosphere during deposition and the substrate temperature. The resistivity properties of films deposited on silicon substrates were very high resistivity. Capacitance of the films properties were the highest value(1000pF) and dependent on substrate temperature.

[ $ZrO_2$ ] gate dielectric thin films were deposited by radio frequency (rf)-magnetron sputtering and its structure, surface morphology and electrical peoperties were studied. As the oxygen flow rate increases, the surface becomes smoother. The experimental results indicate that a high temperature annealing is desirable since it improves the electrical properties of the $ZrO_2$ gate dielectric thin films by decreasing the number of interfacial traps at the $ZrO_2/Si$ interface. The carrier transport mechanism is dominated by the thermionic emission.

Electrical properties of ZnO ceramics based on Bi oxide was investigated in relation to sintering temperature. In the temperature range >$1150^{\circ}C$ to >$1350^{\circ}C$ the grain size increased from 9.mu.m to 20.mu.m when the sintering temperature was raised. The leakage current in the low voltage range increased as the potential barrier decreases, which is caused by increasing the grain size at high temperature. The dielectric characteristics of the ZnO ceramics was also affected by sintering temperature. Large dielectric constant was attributed, to the grainboundary layer of polycrystalline ZnO ceramics and decreasing grainboundary width. The variation of breakdown voltage with sintering temperature was attributed to the change of the donor concentration in the ZnO grain and grain size. The results showed that breakdown voltage increased decreasing grain size and donor concentration. Nonohmic coefficient was associated with the lower breakdown voltage per grainboundary layer due to the grain growth and higher donor concentration.

In this paper, 200-class insulation system for form-wound stator coils is designed for form-wound stator coils is designed for AC traction driven with VVVF inverter. Model coils are made to embody all essential elements representing a winding insulation system and structure. Acceleration degradation for model coils is applied exposure to heat(235$^{\circ}C$). In order to investigate the condition of the coils and to determine their insulation reliability, high voltage test and the dielectric properties such as dielectric loss and capacitance are performed. Also, partial discharge measurement is investigated for internal defects.

Effects of annealing on the dielectric properties and microstructures of thin tantalum oxide film(25nm) deposited on p-type Si substrate with rf reactive magnetron sputtering were investigated. The leakage current density was remarkably reduced from $10^-8$ to $10^-12$ A/$\mum^2$at the electric field of 2MV/cm after rapid thermal annealing(RTA) in $O_2$at $1000^{\circ}C$, while little leakage reduction was observed after furnace annealing in $O_2$ at $500^{\circ}C$. The structural changes of thin tantalum oxide film after annealing were examined using high resolution electron microscope(HREM). The results of HREM show that substantial reduction in the leakage current density after the RTA in $O_2$ can be attributed to crystallization and reoxidation of the thin amorphous tantalum oxide film.

To achieve fiber/resin reinforced composites with high quality (void-free, uniform compaction), a basic understanding of the principal factors related to a thermal cycle to cure the matrix and a pressure to compact the system is necessary. In this paper, some dielectric and mechanical properties of glass cloth reinforced epoxy composites are measured as a function of fabrication conditions, where the time that the pressure is applied to the sample during the cure process is controlled. Both the tensile strength and frequency characteristics of the sample are improved significantly when the pressure is applied at the start point of gelling.
