Abstract

High-frequency dielectric properties of A5B4O15 (A=Ba, Sr, Mg, Zn, Ca; B=Nb, Ta) dielectric ceramics are studied by means of the microwave cavity technique, a combination of far-infrared reflection and transmission spectroscopy and time-resolved terahertz transmission spectroscopy. Microwave permittivity ε′ and Q×f factor vary, depending on the chemical composition, between 11 and 51, and 2.4 and 88 THz, respectively. The temperature coefficient τf varies between −73 and 232 ppm/°C, and in two samples |τf| is less than 15 ppm/°C. It is shown that the microwave permittivity ε′ of the ceramics studied is determined by the polar phonon contributions and that linear extrapolation of the submillimeter dielectric loss ε″ down to the microwave region is in agreement with the microwave data of single phase samples. The relationship among phonon spectra, the crystal structure, and the unit cell volume is discussed.
