The tetragonal tungsten bronze type of Sr$_{x}Ba_{1-x}Nb_{2}O_{6}$(SBN) (0.3$\le$x$\ge$0.7) ceramics was synthesized by the solid state reaction method, and the dielectric properties of SBN ceramics as a function of Sr/Ba ratio were examined. With increasing Sr/Ba ratio in SBN ceramics, the Curie temperature decreased and the maximum dielectric constant at the Curie temperature increased. The relaxor behavior of the SBN ceramics as a function of Sr/Ba ratio was quantitatively evaluated. More relaxor behavior of dielectric characteristics was observed as the ratio of Sr/Ba increased. The experimental results are explained with a viewpoint of crystallography of tungsten bronze structured SBN ceramics.

[ $SrTiO_3$ ] is usually added as shifters in order to move the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$ to lower temperatures because it is well established that the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$ decreases linearly with a solid solution of $Sr^{+2}$ in place of $Ba^{+2}$. It is not fully understood yet, however, how $SrTiO_3$ influences on the peak value of the dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_{max})$ at the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$. This research reports the effect of $SrTiO_3$ addition on εmax at the $T_C$ of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics. Based on the chemical composition and the grain size dependence of the dielectric property of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics, functionally graded $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ composites were designed and fabricated. Multi-layered $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ composites with a compositional gradient of $SrTiO_3$ exhibited a low temperature coefficient and high dielectric constant in a wide temperature range.

La modified lead zirconate titanate ceramics (Pb_0.92La_0.08)(Zr_0.95Ti_0.05)O₃ = PLZT-8/95/5 were prepared using the conventional solid state reaction method in order to investigate the complex impedance characteristics of the PLZT-8/95/5 ceramic according to temperature. The complex impedance in the PLZT-8/95/5 ceramic was measured over a temperature range of 30~550 ℃ at several frequencies. The complex dielectric constant anomaly of the phase transition was observed near T_U1 = 179 ℃ and T_U2 = 230 ℃. A remarkable diffuse dielectric constant anomalous behaviour of the complex dielectric constant was found between 100 ℃ and 550 ℃. The complex impedance spectra below and above T_U1 and T_U2 were fitted by the superposition of two Cole-Cole types of impedance relaxations. The fast component in the higher frequency region may be due to ion migration in the bulk, and the slow component in the lower frequency region is interpreted to be the formation and migration of ions at the grain boundary or electrode/crystal interfacial polarization.

The effect of Bi-substitution in $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ ceramic was studied on the formation of crystal phases, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties. $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$, solid solution (0$\leq$x$\leq$0.2) were formed by Bi-substitution into the Nd site of $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ ceramics. Average grain size increased with Bi-substitution. Dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) increased from 84 to U8, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$) decreased from 44 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ to -30 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ when Bi contents increased up to x=0.2 in $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ solid solutions. $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ solid solutions with x=0.04~0.08 showed the most superior microwave dielectric properties, those are ${\varepsilon}_r$= 89-92, Q . f = 5855~6091 GHz, and (${\tau}_f$)= -7.5-7.5 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.

The temperature and the composition dependence of the dielectric properties of the solid solution materials in the system $xBa(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}\[BZN]-(1-x)\Sr(Zn_{1/3}Nb{2/3)O_{3}\[SZN]$ at microwave frequency was studied. The dielectric constant and unloaded Q were $40.5{\pm}0.5,5980{\pm}100$ respectively for BZN at 10 GHz and $36.9{\pm}0.5,2700{\pm}100$ for SZN at 10.2GHz. The temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency was $+27.5ppm/{\circ}C$ for BZN and $-39.1ppm/{\circ}C$ for SZN. The results also showed that 0.3 BZN-0.7 SZN is the most temperature-stable composition among xBZN-(1-x) SZN solid solutions. In this case, the dielectric constant, the unloaded Q and $\tau_{f}$ at 9.8GHz were $41.5{\pm}0.2,2920{\pm}100$ and $-3.5ppm/{\circ}C$, respectively.

A phase analysis in the solid solution of (1-x) PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbCo1/2W1/2O3 is conducted by dielectric properties, heat capacity and E-P hysteresis at x=0.1 interval. Lattice constants and superlattice intensity are analyzed by the x-ray diffraction, and the temperature - composition phase diagram is determined. The system is found to form a solid solution of perovskite structure throughout the entire composition range, but the nature of phase transitions changes from ferroelectric-paraelectric for $0{\leq}x{\leq}0.5$ to antiferroelectric-paraelectric for $0.6{\leq}x{\leq}1.0$. The transitions of ferroelectric-paraelectric and antiferroelectric-paraelectric for $0.2{\leq}x{\leq}0.5$ and for $0.6{\leq}x{\leq}0.8$, respectively, are diffuse, while those of the ferroelectric-paraelectric and the antiferroelectric-paraelectric for $0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.1$ and $0.9{\leq}x{\leq}1.0$, respectively are sharp.

The effects of substituting Zn+2 for Ni+2 ion on dielectric and piezoelectric prooperties of Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-PZT ceramics were investigated. With increasing Zn2+ contents the tetragonality was appreciably enhanced and the grain size decreased. Both Curie temperature and thermal stability were increased with increase in Zn2+ contents since the Zn+2 partial substition for Ni+2 could form solid solution in almost range of the composition investigated. Piezoelectric prooperties showed the maximum($\varepsilon$ T/$\varepsilon$0=5014, kp=0.56, d31=250$\times$10-12m/V) in 4.5Pb(Zn1//3Nb2/3)O3-40.5Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-55PZT composition sintered at 125$0^{\circ}C$ and then decreased again due to the phase boundary movement for tetragonal phase of the solid solution of Zn2+ amount.

The occurrence of partial discharge (PD) in solid dielectrics is very harmful because it leads to the deterioration of insulation by electrical, chemical, and thermal reactions as a combined action of the discharged ions bombarding the surface and by the action of chemical compounds that are formed by the discharge. Consequently, if any defects are present in the solid insulation system, performance decreases until the system breaks down. Therefore, removing or suppressing the defect is very important. Voids are a typical defect in the solid insulation system and are very harmful because they deteriorate insulation. As a basic step, studying the properties of PD in voids is important because an accurate knowledge of these properties is required to estimate the deterioration of voids. In this paper, the correlation between the size of voids and internal PD is discussed as a function of the time of the applied voltage and its magnitude. Magnitude, repetition rate, average discharge power, and average discharge current of PD in specimens with large voids were found to be larger than the others in this experiment. The smaller specimens had voids when the magnitude and number of PDs were reduced.

This experiment was studied in the system of (1-x) CaO MgO $2SiO-Al_2O_3$ to investigate forming of solid solution. The technique empolyed was the well known water-quenching method. Differential thermal analysis of the each glass water quenched indicated that under 30 mole% $Al_2O_3$ was lowered with increasing of the amount of $Al_2O_3$ It was supposed by X-ray diffraction patterns of each specimen sintered at various temperature that only solid solution was formed under the 30mole % $Al_2O_3$ compositions solid solution and anorthite were formed at the 20mole% $Al_2O_3$ composition anorthite solid solution and spinel$(MgAl_2O_4)$ were formed over the 40mole% $Al_2O_3$ compositions. The maximum density and thermal expanison coefficient was 2.89g/cm 7.74x106./C$^{\circ}$ respectively in the composi-tion of 10 mole% $Al_2O_3$ . All the specimens showed linear thermal expansion behavior. Microhardness was as high as 850kg/nm2 in the composition of 5, 10, 20 mole % $Al_2O_3$ and dielectric constant was 7.3-6.9.

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick films with thickness of $10{\sim}20{\mu}m$ were fabricated on silicon substrate by aerosol deposition method. As-deposited films on silicon were annealed at the temperatures of $700^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties of films deposited by PZT powders were characterized using impedance analyzer and Sawyer-Tower circuit. The PZT powder was prepared by both conventional solid reaction process and sol-gel process. The remanent polarization, coercive field, and dielectric constant of the $10{\mu}m$ thick film with solid reaction process were $20{\mu}C/cm^2$, 30 kV/cm and 1320, respectively. On the other hand, the PZT films by sol-gel process showed a poor dielectric constant of 635. The reason was probably due to the presence of pores produced from organic residue during annealing.
