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.

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.

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 The bulk density, sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of MgO-2B2O3 series ceramics synthesized by solid-state reaction method were systematically studied in this paper. X-ray diffraction and microstructural analysis revealed that the as-prepared MgO-2B2O3 ceramics possessed a single-phase structure with rod-like morphology. Through the investigation of the effects of different dosages of H3BO3 and BCB on bulk density, sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of MgO-2B2O3 ceramics, the optimum sintering temperature was obtained at an addition of 30wt%H3BO3 and 8wt%BCB and the sintering temperature was reduced to 825 oC. The addition of 40wt %H3BO3 and 4 wt%BCB increased the quality factor Q×f, permittivity εr and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency τf of MgO-2B2O3 to 44,306 GHz, 5.1 and -32 ppm/oC, respectively, meeting the criteria of low-temperature co-fired ceramics.

Ca5A2Ti1−xZrxO12 (A = Nb, Ta) ceramics were prepared through conventional solid-state ceramic route for 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 1. The crystal structures of the ceramics were studied by x-ray diffraction techniques, and dielectric properties were measured at microwave frequencies. In the Ca5Nb2Ti1−xZrxO12 system as x increases from 0 to 1, ϵr decreases from 48 to 25, Qu× f from 26,000 to 19,000 GHz, and τf from +40 to −21 ppm/°C. In Ca5Ta2Ti1−xZrxO12 ceramics, ϵr varies from 38 to 22, Quxf from 33,000 to 24,000 GHz, and τf from +10 to −26 ppm/°C as x is changed from 0 to 1. The variation of microwave dielectric properties with bond valence and electronegativity in the two systems were also investigated. Ca5Nb2Ti0.2Zr0.8O12 and Ca5Ta2Ti0.7Zr0.3O12 dielectric ceramics were found to have stable resonant frequency with temperature and are potential candidates for applications in personal and satellite communication systems in the S and C band (2–8 GHz).
