Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Structural and Dielectric Performance of the Ba(zn1/3< Perovskite Ceramics(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2019) Qasrawi, A. F.; Sahin, Ethem Ilhan; Emek, Mehriban; Kartal, Mesut; Kargin, SerdarIn this work, we have explored the antimony doping effects on the structural and dielectric properties of Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3 ceramics (BZN). The ceramics displayed perovskite structures with a lattice constant that decreases with increasing Sb content. The antimony solubility limit of the BZN ceramics is x < 0.50. Belowthis limit and in the range of 0.30 <= x <= 0.40, the microstrain, the dislocation density and the stacking faults decreased and the crystallite size increases with increasing Sb content in the composition of BZN. When the limit is exceeded minor phases are predicted by software analysis and confirmed by the experimental techniques. The presence of these phases is also verified by the scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy techniques. Increasing the Sb content is observed to decrease the value of the dielectric constant. The Sb doped BZN ceramics exhibits high dielectric quality factors that nominate it for applications in electronics as radio waves resonators.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Characterization of Bi2o3< Heterojunctions Designed for Visible Light Communications(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2019) Al Garni, S. E.; Qasrawi, A. F.In the current work, the structural, morphological and optical properties of the Bi2O3/ZnS heterojunctions as visible light communication (VLC) technology element are explored. Bismuth oxide layers of thicknesses of 200 nm are used as substrate to evaporate ZnS films of thicknesses of 500 nm by the thermal evaporation technique under vacuum pressure of 10(-5) mbar. The heterojunction devices are studied by the x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, optical spectrophotometry and microwave spectroscopy techniques. The Bi2O3/ZnS heterojunctions are found to form a highly strained structure with extremely large lattice mismatches. By the strained structure and with the valence and conduction band offsets that exhibit values of 1.04 and 0.41 eV, respectively, it was possible to enhance the light absorbability of ZnS by 459 times at 3.10 eV. In addition, the dielectric constant spectra of the device display a linear and nonlinear optical properties below and above 1.94 eV, respectively. Moreover, the optical conductivity parameters including the drift mobility and plasmon frequency and the cutoff frequency spectra of an area of 0.50 cm(2) of Bi2O3/ZnS interfaces have shown the ability of using these heterojunction devices as light signal receivers that attenuate signals at terahertz frequencies in the range of 0.27-1.00 THz. As an additional demonstration, the Bi2O3/ZnS heterojunction devices were subjected to a microwave signal propagation in the frequency domain of 0.01-2.90 GHz. The device performed as band filters at gigahertz frequencies.
