The microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of dielectric ceramics comprised of ZnNb2(1-x)TixO(6-3x) (x = 0 ~ 1) were investigated systematically using X-ray powder diffraction, SEM and a network analyzer in this study. The results showed that four phases were observed in this system. The dielectric properties at microwave frequencies exhibit a significant dependence on the composition and crystal structure of the ceramics. The dielectric constant ( er) of ZnNb2(1-x)TixO(6-3x)ceramics increases with increasing Ti content and the quality factors (Q ×f) significantly decreased. However, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( t f ) changes from –59.08 ppm/oC at x = 0 to + 25.1 ppm/oC at x = 1, and a zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( t f ) for this ceramics system was obtained at x = 0.84.

Modification of Pb0.5Ca0.5[(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.5Ti0.5]O3 dielectric ceramics was performed by up to 20 mol% La substitution for Pb and Ca. The temperature coefficient of dielectric constant was significantly reduced by the present approach, while an increased Qf factor was achieved. Good microwave dielectric properties were obtained in a composition Pb0.425Ca0.425La0.1[(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.5Ti0.5]O3: ε = 125; Qf = 3150 GHz; calculated temperature coefficient of resonant frequency δf = +253 ppm/°C.

The crystal structure, phase relation, microstructure and dielectric properties of microwave dielectric ceramics comprised of Zn(Nb1-xTax)2O6 were investigated systematically using XRD, SEM and a network analyzer in this study. XRD results show that the Zn(Nb1-xTax)2O6 ceramics have the orthorhombic for all x values. However, two kinds of solid solutions phase regions based on columbite structure and ZnTa2O6 structure were observed. SEM results show that the growth of grains is restrained with increase of Ta content in Zn(Nb1-xTax)2O6 ceramics. The dielectric properties exhibited a significant dependence on the crystal structure and compositions of the ceramics. The dielectric constant (εr) of Zn(Nb1-xTax)2O6 ceramics increased with increasing Ta content. However, the quality factors (Q×f) of this system show a different trend, and decrease with increasing Ta content. At x=0.65, a zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( τ f) can be realized in Zn(Nb1-xTax)2O6 ceramics system.

Two series of B-site deficient perovskites Ba 5+m Ti m Nb 4 O 15+3m(m = 1, 2, 3) and Sr 3+m LaTi m Nb 3 O 12+3m(m = 0, 1, 2) with the general formula A n B n - 1 O 3n(n = 4 - 8; A = Ba , Sr , La ; B = Nb , Ti ) have been synthesized, and their structure and microwave dielectric properties have been investigated. The effects of n (number of octahedra layers within a perovskite blocks) on structure and properties are investigated. The values of dielectric constant εr and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τf gradually increase, but quality factors Q × f values significantly decreases as the values of n increase.

The microwave dielectric properties of Ca[(Li1/3Nb2/3)1−xMx]O3−δ (M = Sn, Ti, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) ceramics were investigated. In general, the ceramics prepared were multiphase materials. However, single-phase specimens having orthorhombic perovskite structure similar to CaTiO3 could be obtained in the vicinity of Sn = 0.2 to 0.3, and Ti = 0.2. As Sn concentration increased, the dielectric constant (εr) decreased and the quality factor (Q) significantly increased within the limited Sn concentration. As Ti concentration increased, the dielectric constant (εr) increased, the quality factor (Q) decreased, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) changed from a negative to positive value. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of 0 ppm/°C was realized at Ti = 0.2. The Q · fo value and εr for this composition were found to be 26100 GHz and 38.6, respectively.

The effects of Bi substitution for Nd in Ba6−3xNd8+2xTi18O54 (x = 2/3) solid solution upon the microstructures and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. The solid solubility limit of Bi in Ba6−3xNd8+2xTi18O54 (x = 2/3) solid solution was about 15 mol%, the same as that for x = 0.5, and densification of the present solid solutions could be performed well at lower temperatures. However, the variation tendency of microwave dielectric properties with composition in the present ceramics quite differed from that for x = 0.5: (1) The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency in the present ceramics showed a continuous variation from positive to negative and did not indicate extreme value at the solid solubility limit. (2) Near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency combined with high-ε and high-Qf values could be obtained in the present ceramics, while that for x = 0.5 had a lower limit of +15 ppm/°C. (3) The dielectric constant also showed a continuous increase for the present compositions, while that in x = 0.5 had an extreme at solid solubility limit. Ceramics with composition of Ba6−3x(Nd0.85,Bi0.15)8+2xTi18O54 (x = 2/3) showed excellent dielectric properties of ε = 99.1, Qf = 5290 GHz, and τf = −5.5 ppm/°C.
