Lattice Parameters of Bronze-Type 3BaO·2R2O3·9TiO2 (R=Sm and Nd) Solid Solutions for Microwave Dielectric Ceramics

Abstract

Microwave dielectric ceramics with high quality have received attention due to the rapid progress in microwave telecommunication and satellite broadcasting. The desirable properties in microwave dielectric resonators are a high dielectric constant (εr), low dielectric loss (tanδ) (i.e. high Q (Q =1/tanδ)), and low temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency(τf). Properties of dielectric ceramics in the TiO2-rich region of the BaO-Nd2O3-TiO2 ternary system (Fig. 1) were reported to have excellent dielectric constants, low dielectric losses and low temperature coefficients of capacitance by Kolar et al. (1978).
