Dielectric properties of Y and Nb co-doped TiO₂ ceramics.

ABSTRACT: In this work, the (Y_0.5Nb_0.5)_xTi_1-xO₂ (x?=?0.001, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.1) ceramics (as called YNTO) were fabricated by synthesized through a standard solid-state reaction. As revealed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, the YNTOs exhibit tetragonal rutile structure. Meanwhile, the grain size of YNTO ceramics increased and then decreased with the increase of x value, and the largest value reached when x?=?0.02. All the YNTO samples display colossal permittivity (~10²-10⁵) over a wide temperature and frequency range. Moreover, the optimal ceramic, (Y_0.5Nb_0.5)_0.02Ti_0.98O₂, exhibits high performance over a broad temperature range from 20?°C to 180?°C; specifically, at 1?kHz, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss are 6.55?×?10⁴ and 0.22 at room temperature, and they are 1.03?×?10⁵ and 0.11 at 180?°C, respectively.
