Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

Dielectric measurements made on thin layers of oxynitride of composition (La,Nd)TiO2N deposited on substrates of the equivalent pure oxides gave high and variables values for the relative permittivity, and very high values of dielectric loss, showing that the samples were significantly conducting. This is believed to be due to reduction taking place during the nitridation step, the use of ammonia (by far the most convenient and effective nitriding agent for this purpose) resulting in the simultaneous production of active atomic hydrogen which easily diffuses through both the surface oxide and the simultaneously forming layer of oxynitride to give compositions of the type (La,Nd)2TiIV2-xTiIIIxO7-x/2 and LaxNd1-xTi4+1-yTi3+yO2-y/2N respectively. It is well established that the presence of Ti3+ in titanium oxides and oxynitrides readily promotes conductivity. These results explain the diverse dielectric property measurements reported by previous researchers working on oxynitride materials, and show that alternative nitridation methods are needed in order to determine correct values of dielectric properties of pure oxynitride materials.
