The dielectric properties of -SiAlON and various cations doped -SiAlON bulk ceramics prepared by a hot-press method were investigated. The dielectric properties (dielectric constant and tangent loss) were characterized by a post-resonator method (Hakki-Coleman method) at room temperature in the microwave frequency range. The effect of z-values about -SiAlON was examined, and also the effects of various interstitial cations on dielectric properties of -SiAlON were studied. Dielectric properties of -SiAlON were compared with those of Si3N4 and -SiAlON and their relationship between the dielectric properties and the cationic species of SiAlON were discussed.
-SiAlON with various z-values (z = 0.5~4.0) were produced by hot pressing. The dielectric properties (dielectric constant and tangent loss) of -SiAlON were characterized by the post-resonator method at room temperature and by the perturbation method from room temperature to 1200 oC at 2.45 GHz, respectively. Effect of z-values and temperatures with -SiAlON were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
