Abstract
This letter reports the dielectric properties of the cubic pyrochlore (Bi3/4Zn1/4)2(Zn1/4Ta3/4)2O7, monoclinic zirconolite Bi2(Zn1/3Ta2/3)2O7, and their composites in the temperature range of 10–400 K from 102 to ∼1010 Hz. Composites with a near zero temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) consisting of the cubic pyrochlore and monoclinic zirconolite phases have been obtained. The observed microwave dielectric properties (ε=∼60, Q=∼325, and TCC=∼30 ppm/K at ∼5.1 GHz) as well as their low sintering temperatures (950–1100 °C) show that the compounds are promising materials for recently developed microwave devices, which demand that dielectric ceramics can be cofired with silver electrodes.
