“…4)6) Since most of the d 0 -type perovskite oxynitrides are eco-friendly and stable in air, water and even in concentrated acids, oxynitrides with high permittivity can be considered as promising candidates for leadfree dielectric materials to replace the widely used but toxic Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PZT)-based ceramics. 7), 8) Recently, Kim et al reported that BaTaO 2 N and SrTaO 2 N, i.e., oxynitride derivatives of the prototypical dielectrics BaTiO 3 and SrTiO 3 , possessed bulk permittivity of ³4900 and ³2900 with moderate temperature coefficients. 4) To date, the unusual dielectric behavior has been discussed mainly on BaTaO 2 N in relation to its crystal structure.…”
