Summary: To meet the requirements of miniaturization and integration of microwave devices, microwave dielectric ceramics with low sintering temperatures and good properties are crucial for LTCC materials. In this study, low-cost BaB2O4 ceramics were prepared using a solid-phase method with different Ba/B ratios. The effects of Raman shift and FWHM on microwave properties were investigated. The BaB2O4 ceramic, characterized by its dense structure and optimal microwave properties (εr=4.06, Qxf=23845 GHz, τf=-7.2 ppm/℃) at a low sintering temperature (840℃), is chemically compatible with Ag, making it a promising substrate for microwave communications.

Summary: Cu-containing single-source precursors (SSPs) were synthesized to prepare SiCuCN-based ceramic nanocomposites. The transformation process, microstructural evolution, and dielectric properties of the ceramics were characterized. The results showed that Cu nanoparticles in the SiCN matrix can transform into copper silicide (Cu3Si) with improved thermal stability. The SiCuCN-based nanocomposites exhibited enhanced dielectric properties and excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing performance, attributed to the unique network constructed by Cu and Cu3Si nanoparticles connected by carbon ribbons within the SiCN matrix.

Summary: This study focuses on manganese doped CdS thin films synthesized by chemical bath deposition. The incorporation of Mn2+ cations in CdS was found to influence the crystalline structure, morphology, and optoelectronic properties. Doped thin films exhibited a uniform hexagonal structure, changed growth orientation, and showed scale-like and needle-like morphologies. The bandgap and rectification speed of Schottky diodes were modified by introducing manganese. This study suggests the potential for affordable high-speed optoelectronic devices.
