Abstract A rapid and facile approach was developed for the synthesis of ultrafine SmAlO3 powders through spontaneously combusting stearic acid precursors. The obtained products were characterized by typical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron microscopy transmission (TEM) to analyze the phase composition and microstructure. The dielectric characteristics of SmAlO3 microwave ceramics using the as-obtained products as original materials were also studied. Comparing with conventional solid-state reaction method, the synthesis temperature was dramatically reduced to 750 °C. Large size sheet structure was composed of a number of micro/nano-scale crystallites that were almost irregular in shape due to the mutual growth and overlapped shape of adjacent grains. The SmAlO3 ceramics with high density and uniform microstructure were obtained after sintering at 1500 °C for 4 h due to good sintering activity of the as-synthesized powders. In addition, desired dielectric properties at microwave frequencies (dielectric constant εr = 20.22, quality factor Q·f = 74110 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency TCf = -74.6 ppm/°C) were achieved.

MnCO3 was added into ZnNb2O6 ceramics to obtain excellent microwave dielectric properties. The samples were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. The effects of the amount of MnCO3 on sintering temperatures, ceramic densities and contraction were systematically investigated. The crystalline structure of ceramic body was analyzed by XRD. The ceramic microstructure was observed by SEM. The dielectric properties of ZnNb2O6 ceramics were measured by a vector network analyzer at microwave frequency, which showed: er = 22.65, Q×f = 36700 GHz (loaded value) and tf = -40 ppm/°C.

Low temperature sintered Ce2Zr3([Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text] (marked as CZMW) ceramics were synthesized via the conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction results showed that the CZMW ceramics belonged to a Trigonal system with R-3C space group, and without any impure phase formation. The experimental facts revealed that the density and grain morphology greatly affected the microwave dielectric properties. The samples sintered at 825∘C exhibited good microwave dielectric properties: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GHz (at 11.3[Formula: see text]GHz) and a satisfactory [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]1.5[Formula: see text]ppm/∘C) value. It is suggested that the CZMW ceramics are suitable for low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) applications in microwave devices.

Ceramics of (1-x)CaCu3Ti4O12-xBi2/3Cu3Ti4O12, i.e., CCTO-BCTO, with x=0, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.25, respectively, were prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction. The phase structure of the ceramics was identified by X-ray diffraction. The microstructure of the sample was observed with scanning electron microscopy. Dielectric properties and impedance spectroscopy were measured using a LCR Meter, in which 0.9CCTO-0.1BCTO displayed highest dielectric constant (584108) and lowest dielectric loss (0.42) at 1kHz among the four kinds of specimens. Based on series of experimental results, an optimum amount of x was able to improve the dielectric properties of CCTO-BCTO, through adjusting the impedance characteristics of the grain and grain boundary.

AbstractMg0:95Ni0:05Ti0:98Zr0:02O3 ceramics was prepared via conventional solid-state mixed-oxide route. The phase, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of the sintered samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a vector network analyzer. The microstructure comprised of circular and elongated plate-like grains. The semi quantitative analysis (EDS) of the circular and elongated grains revealed the existence of Mg0:95Ni0:05T2O5 as a secondary phase along with the parent Mg0:95Ni0:05Ti0:98Zr0:02O3 phase, which was consistent with the XRD findings. In the present study, εr ~17.1, Qufo~195855 ± 2550 GHz and τf ~ -46 ppm/K was achieved for the synthesized Mg0:95Ni0:05Ti0:98Zr0:02O3 ceramics sintered at 1325 °C for 4 h.

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.

Ceramic sample of La0.70Ba0.30Mn0.40Ti0.60O3 oxide has been prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The sintered sample was characterized by using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and low frequency LCR meter. XRD result shows that the sample has a cubic structure with the existence of impurity phase. The dielectric properties of La0.70Ba0.30Mn0.40Ti0.60O3 measured from room temperature to 200°C shows that the dielectric permittivity is temperature dependence with strong dispersion at low frequencies. A circuit model based on the universal capacitor response function is also being used to represent the dielectric properties of the sample.

Microwave ceramics of Ba(Mg0.2/3Zn0.8/3Nb2/3)O3 and Ba1-xSrx(Mg0.2/3Zn0.8/3Nb2/3)O3 were synthesized with conventional solid-state reaction method. Dielectric properties of the samples were studied as functions of compositions and sintering temperatures. Experimental results show that a higher Q×f value is reached by substituting Zn ions with Mg ions and a near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency is obtained by replacing Ba ions with Sr ions.
