Abstract
Low-loss microwave dielectric ceramics are of great significance for fifth-generation telecommunication (5G) devices used for higher frequencies, while reducing the dielectric loss in the microwave band is still a technical challenge. Lattice dynamics and terahertz response are closely related to the polarization of dielectrics, and can be used as effective methods to explore the loss mechanism of microwave dielectrics. Here, Al3+ was doped into the conventional high-permittivity (εr) Ca1-xSm2x/3TiO3 (x = 0.4) ceramic system, enhancing the Q×f values significantly. Raman spectra, thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) and terahertz time-domain spectra (THz-TDS) together showed that the stiffness of cation vibration became stronger when z value was larger, indicating a smaller damping of the lattice vibration, and leading to lower extrinsic losses and higher Q×f values. The relationship between lattice dynamics, defect behavior and microwave dielectric loss will provide a significant reference for the development of low-loss microwave dielectric ceramics.
