AbstractSn-doped BaTi4O9 (BT4) dielectric ceramics were prepared by a mixed oxide route. Preliminary X-ray diffraction (XRD) structural study shows that the ceramic samples have orthorhombic symmetry with space group (Pnmm). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the grain size of the samples decreases with an increase in Sn4+ content. The presence of the metal oxide efficient group was revealed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The photoluminescence spectra of the ceramic samples reported red color ~ 603, 604, 606.5 and 605 nm with excitation energy ~ 2.06, 2.05, 2.04 and 2.05 eV for Sn4+ content with x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, respectively. The microwave dielectric properties of these ceramic samples were investigated by an impedance analyzer. The excellent microwave dielectric properties i.e. high dielectric constant (εr = 57.29), high-quality factor (Qf = 11,852), or low-dielectric loss (3.007) has been observed.

Abstract Sn-doped BaTi4O9 (BT4) microwave ceramics were prepared by a mixed oxide route. Preliminary X-ray diffraction (XRD) structural study shows that the samples have orthorhombic symmetry with space group (Pnmm). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM ) shows that the grain size of the samples decreases with increasing Sn4+ contents. The presence of the metal oxide efficient group was revealed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The Photoluminescence spectra of the samples reported red color ~ 603, 604, 606.5 and 605 nm with excitation energy ~ 2.06, 2.05, 2.04 and 2.05 eV for Sn content at x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, respectively. The microwave dielectric properties of all the samples were investigated by an impedance analyzer. The excellent microwave dielectric properties i.e. high relative permittivity (εr = 57.29), high-quality factor (Qf = 11,852), and low-dielectric loss (3.007) has been observed.

In the present work, the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of BaTi4O9 ceramics derived from a sol-gel precursor were presented. Density measuring results demonstrated that the largest densities of ceramic sample about 96.7% could be reached by virtue of a cool iso-static press and a sintering process at at 1300 °C for 6 hours. The dielectric constant (εr), quality factor (Q×f) and the temperature coefficients (τf) of the BaTi4O9 ceramic samples were 36.65, 28000 GHz, +20.2 ppm/°C, respectively. XRD, SEM and XPS were used to characterize the microstructure of the ceramics samples. Substantial Ti3+ was proposed to be the cause of dielectric loss.

The microwave dielectric properties and microstructures of the (1-x)(Mg0.95Zn0.05)2TiO4-x (Ca0.8Sr0.2)TiO3 ceramics prepared using the conventional solid-state route were investigated. The structure and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Ilmenite-structured (Mg0.95Zn0.05)TiO3 was detected as a second phase. The coexistence of the second phase, however, did not degrade the dielectric properties of the specimen because the phases were compatible. At x = 0.07, a dielectric constant (εr) of ~17.86, a quality factor (Q×f) value of ~ Q×f~133,600 Hz (at 10 GHz), and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) of ~ –5ppm/°Cwere obtained for 0.93(Mg0.95Zn0.05)2TiO4-0.07(Ca0.8Sr0.2)TiO3 ceramic sintered at 1240°C for 4 hr. The dielectric is proposed as a candidate material for low-loss microwave and millimeter wave applications.

Single-phase polycrystalline ceramics in the MO–La2O3–TiO2 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) system, such as cation-deficient hexagonal perovskites CaLa4Ti4O15, SrLa4Ti4O15, BaLa4Ti4O15, and Ca2La4Ti5O18 and the orthorhombic phases CaLa4Ti5O17 and CaLa8Ti9O31, were prepared through the solid-state ceramic route. The phases and structure of the ceramics were analyzed through x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were studied using a network analyzer. The investigated ceramics show high εr in the range 42 to 54, high quality factors with Q ×f in the range 16,222 to 50,215 GHz, and low Tf in the range –25 to +6 ppm / °C. These high dielectric constant materials with high Q × f up to 50,215 GHz are suitable for applications where narrow bandwidth and extremely low insertion loss is necessary, especially at frequencies around 1.9 GHz.

The desirable characteristics of the microwave materials include excellent dielectric constant εr, low dielectric loss (high quality factor, Q*f0 value), and small temperature coefficient (~0ppm/°C) of resonant frequency (Tf). The advantages of using a glass-ceramic include shape stability during the sintering stage, improved dielectric properties, mechanical strength, and controlled thermal expansivity. In the present study, glass-ceramic compositions consisting of a glass system (BaO-TiO2-SiO2-Al2O3) and a ceramic filer (BaNd2Ti5O14) were prepared. The glass and glass-ceramic compositions were evaluated for sintering behavior such as shrinkage, densities, thermal properties, and microstructures. In addition, the microwave dielectric properties (≈ 15~20 for εr, > 6000 GHz for Q*f0) were determined by a network analyzer at 6-8 GHz. These results suggest that the compositions can be a candidate for LTCC dielectric materials.

AbstractThis study investigates the bulk density, sintering behaviour, and microwave dielectric properties of the MgO-2B2O3 series ceramics synthesised by solid-state reaction. According to the X-ray diffraction and microstructural analyses, the as-prepared MgO-2B2O3 ceramics possess a single-phase structure with a rod-like morphology. The effects of different quantities of H3BO3 and BaCu(B2O5) (BCB) on the bulk density, sintering behaviour, and microwave dielectric properties of the MgO-2B2O3 ceramics were investigated. Accordingly, the optimal sintering temperature was obtained by adding 30 wt% H3BO3 and 8 wt% BCB. We also reduced the sintering temperature to 825 °C. Furthermore, the addition of 40 wt% H3BO3 and 4 wt% BCB increased the quality factor, permittivity, and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency of MgO-2B2O3 to 44,306 GHz (at 15 GHz), 5.1, and −32 ppm/°C, respectively. These properties make MgO-2B2O3 a viable low-temperature co-fired ceramic with broad applications in microwave dielectrics.

Abstract Ce2[Zr1-x(Mg1/3Sb2/3)x]3(MoO4)9 (0.02≤x≤0.10) ceramics were prepared well through the traditional solid-state method. A single phase, belonging to the space group of R-3c, was detected by using X-ray diffraction at sintering temperatures ranging from 700 to 850 °C. The crystallization micro-structural of specimens was examined by applying Scanning electron microscopy. The structural refinement of these samples was investigated in detail by performing the Rietveld refinement method. The intrinsic properties were calculated and explored via far-infrared reflectivity spectroscopy. The correlations between the chemical bonds parameters and microwave dielectric properties were calculated and analyzed by P-V-L theory. Ce2[Zr0.94(Mg1/3Sb2/3)0.06]3(MoO4)9 ceramics with excellent dielectric properties: εr = 10.37, Q×f = 71748 GHz and τf = −13.6 ppm/°C sintered at 725 °C for 6 hours.

Abstract Herein, magnesium metatitanate (MgTiO3) ceramics were synthesised using recycled magnesia-hercynite (MH) bricks as the raw materials to achieve solid waste reusing of cement kiln refractories. The recycled MH materials were mixed with anatase TiO2 to investigate the effect of addition of doped B2O3 during the synthesis of MgTiO3 ceramics at 1400 °C. Phase compositions and microstructural studies were performed using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. In addition, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was conducted and the dielectric properties of the samples were studied. Results show that the addition of B2O3 can promote sintering, improve shrinkage, promote densification, stabilise MgTiO3 lattice, and inhibit the formation of MgTiO3. In addition, the presence of appropriate amount of B2O3 can accelerate the material diffusion and result in grain growth through the formation of intercrystalline liquid phase. Results also suggest that an increase in dielectric constant results in a decrease in dielectric loss. It was concluded that 2 wt% was the optimum amount of B2O3 required to obtain the most favourable synthesis rate of MgTiO3 (98.2%). The samples exhibited a maximum density of 3.69 g·cm−3 and excellent microwave dielectric properties at ε r = 18.28 and tanδ = 0.086.
