Dielectric Ceramics

Ca5A2Ti1−xZrxO12 (A = Nb, Ta) ceramics were prepared through conventional solid-state ceramic route for 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 1. The crystal structures of the ceramics were studied by x-ray diffraction techniques, and dielectric properties were measured at microwave frequencies. In the Ca5Nb2Ti1−xZrxO12 system as x increases from 0 to 1, ϵr decreases from 48 to 25, Qu× f from 26,000 to 19,000 GHz, and τf from +40 to −21 ppm/°C. In Ca5Ta2Ti1−xZrxO12 ceramics, ϵr varies from 38 to 22, Quxf from 33,000 to 24,000 GHz, and τf from +10 to −26 ppm/°C as x is changed from 0 to 1. The variation of microwave dielectric properties with bond valence and electronegativity in the two systems were also investigated. Ca5Nb2Ti0.2Zr0.8O12 and Ca5Ta2Ti0.7Zr0.3O12 dielectric ceramics were found to have stable resonant frequency with temperature and are potential candidates for applications in personal and satellite communication systems in the S and C band (2–8 GHz).

Dielectric Ceramics

Dielectric ceramics have been widely investigated and used for microwave applications such as resonators and filters. The present study deals with the influence of sintering temperature on microwave dielectric properties of TiO2 ceramics with 10, 20, and 30 wt% ZrO2. Three compositions have been developed through mixing procedures and then tested for each sintering temperature: 1500 and 1400 °C. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are carried out aiming to explain the ceramic behavior of each sample. The dielectric constants of different ceramics for both temperatures varied from 85.4 to 62.6, while their quality factor due to dielectric losses varied from 3110 to 1630. The Q decrease is attributed to the non uniform grain growth and to the obtained crystalline phases. The best microwave parameters were obtained for the ceramics sintered at 1400 °C, which can be applied in microwave circuits as dielectric resonators.

Ba(Co1/3(Nb1-xW5x/6)2/3)O3 (0<x≤0.05) (BCWN) microwave dielectric ceramics have been prepared by solid-state reaction method. The microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of BCWN ceramics were investigated systematically in this paper. The results show that the sintering temperature decreases with the substitution of W6+. The Ba(Co1/3(Nb1-xW5x/6)2/3)O3 solid solution is formed with the small substitution of W6+ (x≤0.01). With the increase of x, the impurity phase BaWO4 occurrs and the grains become less homogeneous. Combined with the analysis of X-Ray Diffraction, the cation ordering degree on B-site increases in the sample of x=0.01, which leads to the decrease of the dielectric loss. However, the second phase BaWO4 inhibits the formation of the ordered structure with the reduction of sinterability. Due to the formation of BaWO4, the values of εr and τf of all samples decrease subsequently. The optimized microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Co1/3(Nb1-xW5x/6)2/3)O3 ceramics were obtained in the samples of x=0.01: εr=33.8, Q×f =110761 GHz, τf = -17 ppm/°C.

Li2ZnTi3O8ceramics were prepared by reaction-sintering process (calcination free). The crystal phase and microstructure were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A pure phase of Li2ZnTi3O8ceramics sintered at 1075 °C-1150 °C with cubic spinel structure was confirmed by XRD. The microwave dielectric properties (εr,Qxf) of Li2ZnTi3O8ceramics were strongly dependent on the densification and grain size. The τfof Li2ZnTi3O8ceramics was almost independent with the sintering temperatures. In particular, Li2ZnTi3O8ceramics by reaction-sintering method sintered at 1125 °C for 5 h exhibited good combination microwave dielectric properties of εr=21.7, Q×f=70 500 GHz (at 7.5 GHz) and τf=-13 ppm/°C.

AbstractThis study investigates the bulk density, sintering behaviour, and microwave dielectric properties of the MgO-2B2O3 series ceramics synthesised by solid-state reaction. According to the X-ray diffraction and microstructural analyses, the as-prepared MgO-2B2O3 ceramics possess a single-phase structure with a rod-like morphology. The effects of different quantities of H3BO3 and BaCu(B2O5) (BCB) on the bulk density, sintering behaviour, and microwave dielectric properties of the MgO-2B2O3 ceramics were investigated. Accordingly, the optimal sintering temperature was obtained by adding 30 wt% H3BO3 and 8 wt% BCB. We also reduced the sintering temperature to 825 °C. Furthermore, the addition of 40 wt% H3BO3 and 4 wt% BCB increased the quality factor, permittivity, and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency of MgO-2B2O3 to 44,306 GHz (at 15 GHz), 5.1, and −32 ppm/°C, respectively. These properties make MgO-2B2O3 a viable low-temperature co-fired ceramic with broad applications in microwave dielectrics.

Abstract Herein, magnesium metatitanate (MgTiO3) ceramics were synthesised using recycled magnesia-hercynite (MH) bricks as the raw materials to achieve solid waste reusing of cement kiln refractories. The recycled MH materials were mixed with anatase TiO2 to investigate the effect of addition of doped B2O3 during the synthesis of MgTiO3 ceramics at 1400 °C. Phase compositions and microstructural studies were performed using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. In addition, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was conducted and the dielectric properties of the samples were studied. Results show that the addition of B2O3 can promote sintering, improve shrinkage, promote densification, stabilise MgTiO3 lattice, and inhibit the formation of MgTiO3. In addition, the presence of appropriate amount of B2O3 can accelerate the material diffusion and result in grain growth through the formation of intercrystalline liquid phase. Results also suggest that an increase in dielectric constant results in a decrease in dielectric loss. It was concluded that 2 wt% was the optimum amount of B2O3 required to obtain the most favourable synthesis rate of MgTiO3 (98.2%). The samples exhibited a maximum density of 3.69 g·cm−3 and excellent microwave dielectric properties at ε r = 18.28 and tanδ = 0.086.

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.

Ordering and microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3 have been investigated using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and a network analyzer. Samples sintered at 1400 °C for 2 h were disordered and showed the presence of Nb-rich liquid phase at grain boundary junctions. Degree of ordering increased with following annealing at 1300 °C. Growth of the ordered region during the annealing process was discussed in terms of nucleation and growth. A long-range order parameter was calculated using structure factor. Measurements of microwave dielectric properties showed that permittivity and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency decreased with ordering, and quality factor increased with ordering. The correlation between microwave dielectric properties and ordering was discussed in terms of covalency of bonding, inhomogeneous charge distribution, and defects concentration.
