Observation of an anomalous correlation between permittivity and tunability of a doped (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ferroelectric ceramic developed for microwave applications

Anomalous dependencies of the dynamic (pulse) and static tunability [k(U)=C(0)/C(U)] as a function of permittivity (ε) were observed in ferroelectric varactors based on doped paraelectric state (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics. The reduction of the relatively high permittivity value from ε≅810 down to ε≅260 by...

Description
Summary:Anomalous dependencies of the dynamic (pulse) and static tunability [k(U)=C(0)/C(U)] as a function of permittivity (ε) were observed in ferroelectric varactors based on doped paraelectric state (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics. The reduction of the relatively high permittivity value from ε≅810 down to ε≅260 by introducing various proportions of a Mg2TiO4 additive resulted in a 20% increase in tunability. Furthermore, ceramics with this additive have demonstrated dynamic tunability noticeably higher than the static tunability, also unexpected for this type of material.
