Materials applied in electronics such as multilayer capacitors are an important field of ceramic materials. Magnesium titanate based dielectric materials are used for producing type-I capacitors. A common way of obtaining this material is a solid-state reaction during reaction sintering. The process of sintering can be enhanced if mechanical activation precedes. In this work starting powders of magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a rutile crystal modification were weighed to attain a 1:1 molar MgCO3:TiO2 ratio. Mechanical activation of the starting mixture was performed by high energy ball milling using ZrO balls and vessels with a ball to powder mass ratio of 40:1. The observed grinding times were 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes. Powder characterization was conducted using X ray powder diffraction, DTA analysis up to 1000 o C and particle morphology changes were observed with Scanning Electron Microscopy. Isothermal sintering of compacted powders was conducted at 1100?C during 30, 60 and 180 minutes. For specimens synthesized in such a manner, microwave dielectric properties were measured, quality factor Q, specific electrical resistivity (?) and the dielectric constant (?r). In this work we explain the influence of mechanical activation on the MgCO3-TiO2 system leading to titanate formation during sintering, as well as induced changes in microwave dielectric properties.

For specimens synthesized in such a manner, microwave dielectric properties were measured, quality factor Q and the dielectric constant (εr) in function of frequency. The measurements of electrical resistivity, capacitance and loss tangent of samples were measured in the frequency range from 500 Hz to 5 MHz frequencies with a HIOKI 3532-50 LCR HiTESTER device at a constant voltage mode (amplitude 0.5 V of sinusoidal signal applied to the specimens).

The relationship between the character of the B-site cation–oxygen bond and the microwave dielectric properties in perovskites dielectric materials was studied in this paper. The atomic net charge of CaTiO3 (CT) and Ca(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (CZN) was calculated respectively. The calculating result implies that the covalency of B-O bonds in CZN is stronger than that in CT. This predicted that the dielectric constant and loss of the ceramics will decrease after CZN incorporated in CT. To confirme the prediction, (1-x)CT-xCZN microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method with ZnNb2O6 as precursor. The structure analysis in terms of tolerance factor gives an identical result as calculation. The microwave dielectric properties, such as dielectric constants, Q×f values and τf were studied as a function of composition. With x increasing from 0.2 to 0.8, the dielectric constant linearly decreases from 109 to 49.37, the Q×f value increases from 8,340 to 13,200 GHz, and τf decreases from 321 to -18 ppm/°C. The properties trends are consistent with the previous calculation results, and confirm the relationship between the character of B-O bond and dielectric properties.

The effects of high-energy ball milling and subsequent calcinations on the mixture of MgO and Nb2O5 are investigated. It is found that the pure MgNb2O6 phase can be synthesized at 800 °C for 5 h by using high-energy ball milling method. MgNb2O6 ceramics were prepared at 1220 °C by using calcined powders of milled 15 h, which is lower 100 °C than that required by using the conventional solid state reaction method. The microwave dielectric properties of MgNb2O6 ceramic with εr = 19.7 and Qf = 29 044 GHz were obtained by the High-energy ball milling method, which made it a potential candidate for application.
