Dielectric Properties of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3-La(B0.5Ti0.5)O3(B=Mg, Zn) Ceramics

Abstract

Ba(0.6)Sr(0.4)TiO(3)-La(B(0.5)Ti(0.5))O(3) (B = Mg, Zn) ceramics were prepared by a solid-state reaction method, and their microwave dielectric characteristics and tunability were investigated. The ferroelectric-dielectric solid solutions with cubic perovskite structures were obtained for compositions of 10 to 60 mol% La(Mg(0.5)Ti(0.5))O(3) and 10 to 50 mol% La(Zn(0.5)Ti(0.5))O(3). With the increase of linear oxide dielectric content, the dielectric constant and tunability were decreased and Qf was increased. Ba(0.6)Sr(0.4)TiO(3)-La(Mg(0.5)Ti(0.5))O(3) has better dielectric properties than Ba(0.6)Sr(0.4)TiO(3)-La(Zn(0.5)Ti(0.5))O(3). 0.9Ba(0.6)Sr(0.4)TiO(3)-0.1La(Mg(0.5)Ti(0.5))O(3) has a dielectric constant epsilon = 338.2, Qf = 979 GHz and a tunability of was 3.7% at 100 kHz under 1.67 kV/mm. The Qf value of 0.5Ba(0.6)Sr(0.4)TiO(3)- 0.5La(Mg(0.5)Ti(0.5))O(3) reached 9367 GHz, but the tunable properties were lost.
