Abstract
In this study, a finite element analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of aspect ratios and dielectric constants of microdefects, such as pores, secondary phases, and grain boundary phases, on the electric field enhancement using the maximum field enhancement factor. For defect part with a lower dielectric constant than the solid part, including pores and secondary phases, as the aspect ratio of the defect part decreases (it becomes longer in the direction perpendicular to the electric field), the maximum electric field enhancement factor at the lateral surface of the defect part becomes higher. On the other hand, for defect part with a higher dielectric constant than the solid part, including grain boundary phases, the exact opposite behavior was observed. Moreover, it was also predicted that fine grain boundary phases act as a stronger electric field enhancement source than coarse pores.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
