Abstract
In this work, inverse spinel structured Li1.25Ga0.25Ti1.5O4 ceramics with a space group of P4332 were synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. XRD, SAED, HRTEM, and Raman spectra analysis demonstrated that the Li1.25Ga0.25Ti1.5O4 ceramic was formed a A-site 1:3 disordered and B-site 1:3 ordered spinel structured. A high relative density (98.7%) with excellent microwave dielectric properties of εr = 23.8, Q×f = 93,800 GHz, and τf = –21.9 ppm/oC were obtained in 1110 °C for 4 h. Bond valence analysis demonstrated that the average cations of Li1.25Ga0.25Ti1.5O4 were in the rattling state, and the polarizability of Ti4+ was underestimated. The P–V-L chemical bond theory and lattice energy analysis results indicated that B–O bonds were the main factor to affect the εr and Q × f, and the under-bonding Ti4+and Ga3+ has a significant effect on the τf. All the results show that the Li1.25Ga0.25Ti1.5O4 ceramic might be a potential candidate for 5 G communication technology.
