Microwave dielectric ceramics based on RETiTaO6 (RE = La, Cc, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Yb, Al, and In) were prepared using a conventional solid-state ceramic route. The structure and microstructure of the samples were analyzed using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The sintered samples were characterized in the microwave frequency region. The ceramics based on Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy, which crystallize in orthorhombic aeschynite structure, had a relatively high dielectric constant and positive τf while those based on Ho, Er, and Yb, with orthorhombic euxenite structure, had a low dielectric constant and negative τf. The RETiTaO6 ceramics had a high-quality factor. The dielectric constant and unit cell volume of the ceramics increased with an increase in ionic radius of the rare-earth ions, but density decreased with it. The value of τf increased with an increase in RE ionic radii, and a change in the sign of τf occurred when the ionic radius was between 0.90 and 0.92 Å. The results indicated that the boundary of the aeschynite to euxenite morphotropic phase change lay between DyTiTaO6 and HoTiTaO6. Low-loss ceramics like ErTiTaO6 (εr = 20.6, Quxf = 85,500), EuTiTaO6 (r = 41.3, Quxf = 59,500), and YtiTaO6 (εr = 22.1, Quxf = 51,400) are potential candidates for dielectric resonator applications.

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.

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.

xBaZn2Ti4O11–(1-x)BaNd2Ti4O12 (x = 0.18–0.30) ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction method and their microwave dielectric properties were investigated with the purpose of finding a microwave ceramics with high dielectric constant (εr), high quality factor (Q×f ) and zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf).The two phase system BaZn2Ti4O11–BaNd2Ti4O12 affected the unit cell volume and the microstructure, the microwave dielectric properties (εr, Q×f, τf). As increasing x from 0.18 to 0.30, the main phase composition was BaNd2Ti4O12. Therefore, the εr decreased from 64.9 to 60.3 and the Q×f values raised from 11,350GHz to 13,210GHz, and the τf values decreased from 7ppm/° to -5ppm/°.The 0.22BaZn2Ti4O11–0.78BaNd2Ti4O12 ceramics sintered at 1250°C for 4 h displayed the best dielectric constant εr,Q×f and τf, as 63.9, 12380 GHz and-0.1 ppm/° respectively.

(Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics possess a low dielectric constant and a highQfvalue, however, the densification temperature of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics is higher than 1280°C. In this paper, the effect of Li2CO3addition on sinterability and dielectric properties of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics were studied. The phase presence and surface morphology were determined by XRD and SEM techniques, respectively. CaSiO3and Ca2MgSi2O7phases were observed. With the addition of >2.0 wt% Li2CO3, the sintering temperature of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramic was significantly lowered, reaching to 1070°C. (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics with 4wt% Li2CO3sintered at 1070°C for 3 h shows excellent dielectric properties:εr=5.91,Qf= 15300GHz (at 10GHz).

Ceramics with low dielectric constant are widely used in high frequency substrates. The low temperature sintered CaMg0.9-xNa2xLi0.2Si2O6(x = 0–0.05 and 0.1) ceramics with low dielectric constant and dielectric loss were prepared by the traditional solid-state reaction method, with 0.5wt%LBSCA additive. The XRD patterns of the samples were obtained by X-ray diffraction and it was found that there were three ceramic components, CaMgSi2O6, CaSiO3 and Na2MgSiO4, which indicated that the experimental sample was a multiphase ceramic system. Through the trend of bulk density as functions of the content of substitution and the change of SEM morphology, it could be found that appropriate amount of Na+ substitution can promote the grain growing and the densification of ceramics. Results demonstrated that both the Q × f and εr were relevant to bulk density and the second phase. The τf was also affected by the second phase to some extent. In particular, the ceramics sintered at 925 °C for 3h possessed the desirable microwave dielectric properties for LTCC application: εr = 7.03, Q × f = 17,956 GHz, and τf= −79 ppm/°C.

Aluminium phosphate ( AlPO 4)-Magnesium fluoride ( MgF 2) composite has been prepared through solid state ceramic route. The formation of composite has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The variation in εr and tanδ of the composite with frequency in the range (1K Hz – 3 MHz) has been studied. The AlPO 4- MgF 2 has a small temperature dependence of εr. The composite shows low relative permittivity of 3 and low dielectric loss (tanδ = 7×10−3) at 5.85 GHz.
