Effects of Nd substitution with Bi on the microwave dielectric properties of BiNbO4 were studied. Bi1−xNdxNbO4 ceramics sintered at 920–980 °C consisted of orthorhombic and triclinic phases. The amount of triclinic phase increased with the increase in the Nd content, x, and sintering temperature. The apparent density and the dielectric constant decreased with the Nd content, but increased with sintering temperature, reached the peak values at 960 °C and then rapidly decreased. The Q × f0 value was between 11,000 and 13,000 GHz over all sintering temperatures for x < 0.05, but for x ≥ 0.05 it reached the peak value at 950 °C and then rapidly decreased. The temperature coefficient of resonance frequency increased in the positive direction with the Nd content and showed the minimum value of −1.82 ppm/°C for x = 0.025 sintered at 940 °C. However, it rapidly increased in the negative direction for sintering temperature over 960 °C.

The influence of CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 addition on the sintering behavior, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics were investigated. The co- doping of CuO, V2O5 and Bi2O3 can significantly lower the sintering temperature of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics from 1150°C to 900°C. The Zn3Nb2O8-0.5wt% CuO-0.5wt% V2O5-2.0wt% Bi2O3 ceramic sintered at 900°C showed a relative density of 97.1%, a dielectric constant (εr) of 18.2, and a quality factor (Q×f) of 36781 GHz. The dielectric properties in this system exhibited a significant dependence on the relative density, content of additives and sintering temperature. The relative density and dielectric constant (εr) of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased with increasing CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 additions. And also the relative density and dielectric constant of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased by the augment of the sintering temperature.

The effects of CuO and V2O5 addition on sintering behaviors and microwave dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics were investigated. With CuO and V2O5 addition, the sintering temperature of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 can be effectively reduced from 1150 to 950oC. The dielectric constant of the low fired 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics was not significantly changed while the quality factor was affected by additives. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency value was increased in negative value with the additive contents. V2O5 and CuO additives effectively improved the densification and dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics. The correlation between the phase constituents and the dielectric properties was investigated with additive contents.

The effect of CuO/B2O3 additions on the sintering behaviors, microstructures, and microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics is investigated. It is found that the sintering temperatures are lowered efficiently from 1600 °C to 1350 °C, as 1 wt % CuO, 1 wt % B2O3, and 0.5 wt % CuO +0.5 wt % B2O3 are used as the sintering aids due to the appearance of the liquid phase sintering. The microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics with the sintering aid additions are strongly related to the densification and the microstructure of the sintered ceramics. At the sintering temperature of 1300 °C, the 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramic with 0.5 wt % CuO + 0.5 wt % B2O3 addition shows the best dielectric properties, including a dielectric constant (εr) of 21, approximate quality factor (Q × f) of 22,500 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (τf) of −3 ppm/°C.

The structure and dielectric properties of Barium Zinc Tantalate (BZT) doped by copper oxide (CuO) with a variety of values of mol% doping from 0, 0.1, 0.25, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.5 were prepared using a solid state method. The addition of CuO did not disturb the 1:2 ordering structure of the BZT ceramic. The grain size increased when the addition of doping increased. A small amount of doping elements increased the relative density. The dielectric constant (ɛr) value of the BZT significantly improved with the addition of the CuO for the specimens sintered at 1250°C and it could be explained by the increase of the relative density. The tan δ of the CuO doped with BZT ceramics is lower than pure BZT ceramics, and decreases as the CuO content increases. Meanwhile, for the percentage of bandwidth (%BW) it is shown that the best result is produced when it is doped with 0.25 mol% CuO and sintered at 1250°C. The best microwave dielectric properties obtained were ɛr=70.28, tan δ = 0.024, %BW = 7.83 which occurred for the 0.25 mol% doped CuO and when sintered at 1250°C/4 h.

(Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics possess a low dielectric constant and a highQfvalue, however, the densification temperature of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics is higher than 1280°C. In this paper, the effect of Li2CO3addition on sinterability and dielectric properties of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics were studied. The phase presence and surface morphology were determined by XRD and SEM techniques, respectively. CaSiO3and Ca2MgSi2O7phases were observed. With the addition of >2.0 wt% Li2CO3, the sintering temperature of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramic was significantly lowered, reaching to 1070°C. (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics with 4wt% Li2CO3sintered at 1070°C for 3 h shows excellent dielectric properties:εr=5.91,Qf= 15300GHz (at 10GHz).

The effect of V2O5 as additives of different content on the densification, microstructure and dielectric properties of Ba(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BMN) was investigated. The sintering temperature of the V2O5-doped BMN samples were lowered down to 1250 oC with 0.5wt% V2O5 compared to pure BMN ceramics where the sintering temperature was 1500 oC at least. The εr and τf was not influenced much, while the Q value was affected by the sintering temperature and the V2O5 additives. The Q value decreased with decrease of the sintering temperature and the V2O5 addition increasing due to the bulk density and the second phase. Good microwave dielectric properties of Q·f=42100GHz, εr =31.7 and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (τf) =22.7ppm/ oC were obtained with 0.25 wt% V2O5 sintered at 1350 oC for 4h.

ABSTRACTThe microwave dielectric properties of (1-x)CaTiO3-xNd(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (0.1≤x≤1.0) have been investigated. The system forms a solid solution throughout the entire compositional range. The dielectric constant decreases from 152 to 27 as x varies from 0.1 to 1.0. In the (1-x)CaTiO3-xNd(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 system, the microwave dielectric properties can be effectively controlled by varying the x value. A maximum quality factor Qxf=43000GHz (where f is the resonant frequency) was achieved for samples with x=0.9, although the dielectric properties varied with sintering temperature. The Qxf value of (1-x)CaTiO3-xNd(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 almost increased up to 1500°C, after which it decreased. At 1400°C, 0.1CaTiO3-0.9Nd(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 ceramics gives a dielectric constant εr of 42, a Qxf value of 35000 (GHz) and a τf value of -10 (ppm/°C).

Effects of calcining and sintering temperatures on the microstructure and the microwave dielectric properties of Ba6-3x(Sm0.2Nd0.8)8+2xTi18O54(x=2/3) ceramics were studied. When the calcining temperature was lower (1373K), the dielectric constant ε and the Qf factor initially increased with increasing sintering temperature, but decreased when sintering temperature was higher than 1603K. As a whole, the temperature coefficients of the resonant frequency τf tended to increase with increasing sintering temperature. The microstructure of the sintered ceramic consisted mainly of columnar and block-shape grains. The grain size increased with increasing sintering temperature. When the calcining temperature was higher (1473K), εr and τf were nearly independent of sintering temperature. The excellent microwave dielectric properties were achieved in the Ba6-3x(Sm0.2Nd0.8)8+2xTi18O54 (x=2/3) ceramic calcined at 1373K and sintered at 1603K for 3 h: ε = 80.8, Qf = 8114 (GHz) and τf = 5.6.

The (1–x)Ca0.61La0.26TiO3-xNd(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 [(1–x)CLT-xNMT, x = 0.35~0.60] ceramics were prepared via microwave sintering. The effects of sintering temperature and composition on the phase formation, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. The results show that the microwave sintering process requires a lower sintering temperature and shorter sintering time of (1–x)CLT-xNMT ceramics than conventional heating methods. All of the (1–x)CLT-xNMT ceramics possess a single perovskite structure. With the increase of x, the dielectric constant (ε) shows a downward trend; the quality factor (Qf) drops first and then rises significantly; the resonance frequency temperature coefficient (τf) keeps decreasing. With excellent microwave dielectric properties (ε = 51.3, Qf = 13,852 GHz, τf = −1.9 × 10−6/°C), the 0.65CLT-0.35NMT ceramic can be applied to the field of mobile communications.
