Abstract
Two garnet-structured Ca3MgBGe3O12 (B = Zr, Sn) ceramics with tetravalent cations at B-site were prepared by conventional solid state reaction. The crystal structure, microstructure evolution, and microwave dielectric performance were investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, Rietveld refinement, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy techniques. Dense Ca3MgZrGe3O12 and Ca3MgSnGe3O12 ceramics were obtained at sintering temperatures of 1420 and 1400 °C, respectively. The dielectric constant, unloaded quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency of Ca3MgZrGe3O12 were 10.80 ± 0.2; 79,600 ± 1000 GHz (f = 12.61 GHz); and −66.8 ± 1 ppm/°C, respectively, and the corresponding values for Ca3MgSnGe3O12 were 9.68 ± 0.2; 83,400 ± 1000 GHz (f = 14.19 GHz); and −57.9 ± 1 ppm/°C, respectively. The dielectric performances of the two ceramics were compared by analyzing the ionic polarizability, packing fraction, and bond valence. The intrinsic dielectric properties were predicted by fitting the infrared reflectivity spectra.
