Abstract A melilite Ba2CuGe2O7 ceramic was characterized with low sintering temperature and moderate microwave dielectric properties. Sintered at 960 oC, the Ba2CuGe2O7 ceramic had a high relative density 97%, a low relative permittivity 9.43, and a quality factor of 20,000 GHz. To get a deep understanding of the relationship between composition, structure, and dielectric performances, magnesium substitution for copper in Ba2CuGe2O7 was conducted. Influences of magnesium doping on the sintering behavior, crystal structure, and microwave dielectric properties were studied. Mg doping in Ba2CuGe2O7 caused negligible changes in the macroscopic crystal structure, grain morphology, and size distribution, while induced visible variation in the local structure as revealed by Raman analysis. Microwave dielectric properties exhibit a remarkable dependence on composition. On increasing the magnesium content, the dielectric constant (εr) featured a continuous decrease, while both the quality factor (Q × f) and the temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (τf) increased monotonously. Such variations in dielectric performances were clarified in terms of the polarizability, packing fraction, and band valence theory.

Sintered at 960 °C, the Ba2CuGe2O7 ceramic had a high relative density 97%, a low relative permittivity (εr) 9.43, a quality factor (Q×f) of 20,000 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (τf) −76 ppm/°C. To get a deep understanding of the relationship between composition, structure, and dielectric performances, magnesium substitution for copper in Ba2CuGe2O7 was conducted.

A low temperature sintering method was used to avoid the relatively high sintering temperatures typically required to prepare 0.67CaTiO3-0.33LaAlO3 (CTLA) ceramics. 0.67CaTiO3-0.33LaAlO3 ceramics doped with Li2O-B2O3-SiO2 (LBS) were prepared by a conventional two-step solid-state reaction process. The sintering behavior, crystal structure, surface morphology, and microwave dielectric proprieties of the prepared ceramics were studied. As the small amount of LBS content increased, the small amount of liquid phase formed in an amorphous state around the surface of the grain boundaries. With the increase the content of LBS glass, the quality factor (Q×f) value decreased. CTLA+0.05 wt.% LBS ceramics sintered at 1320°C for 4h exhibited the optimal microwave dielectric properties of dielectric permittivity (εr) = 45.02, quality factor (Q×f) = 37400 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) = 9.84 ppm/°C. .

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.

Crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties of (Ca1-xPrx) [(Li1/3Nb2/3)0.95Zr0.15]3+δ (0.0≤x≤0.2, CPLNZ) ceramics were investigated. A single phase with orthorhombic perovskite structure was obtained at x=0.0~0.08. With an increase of Pr3+ content, the quality factor value firstly increased, and then began to decrease at x=0.06 due to a decrease of the degree of B-site 1:2 ordering. The variation of τf with tolerance factor was discussed. When x=0.06, the optimum microwave dielectric properties: the permittivity is 33.2, the quality factor is 17120 GHz,and the temperature coefficient of resonator frequency is −5.7×10−6/°C.

Crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties of (Ca1-xSmx) [(Li1/3Nb2/3)0.95Zr0.15]3+δ(0.0≤x≤0.2,CSLNZ) ceramics were investigated. A single phase with orthorhombic perovskite structure was obtained at x=0.0~0.08. With an increase of Sm3+ content, the quality factor value firstly increased, and then began to decrease at x=0.03 due to a decrease of the degree of B-site 1:2 ordering. The variation of τf with tolerance factor was discussed. When x=0.05, the optimum microwave dielectric properties: the permittivity is 32.4,the quality factor is 16560GHz,and the temperature coefficient of resonator frequency is −6.3×10−6/°C。

In the search of more microwave dielectric materials with high-quality factor (Qf ) and high relative dielectric constant (r), RENbO4 (where RE = Y, Ce, Yb) niobate ceramics were synthesized from a solid-state ceramic route, their sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. All of the RENbO4 ceramics formed a single-phase fergusonite-type structure (monoclinic, with space group I2/c), except CeNbO4. They all have an excellent quality factor and dielectric constant value in range of 20 – 28, and the inherent reasons were analyzed.
