Abstract

Two low-permittivity dielectric materials Li2AGeO4 (A = Zn, Mg) were prepared via the solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis and Rietveld refinement indicated that both ceramics crystallize in an orthorhombic olivine structure with a space group Pmn21. Dense ceramics with high relative density and homogeneous microstructure were obtained. Li2ZnGeO4 densified at 1200 °C possessed a relative permittivity εr = 6.5, a quality factor Q × f = 35,400 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency. Li2MgGeO4 exhibited εr = 6.1, Q × f = 28,500 GHz, and τf = –74.7 ppm/°C when sintered at 1220 °C. Additionally, the large negative τf values of Li2AGeO4 (A = Zn, Mg) ceramics were successfully adjusted compensated by forming composite ceramics with CaTiO3 and near-zero τf values of +2.9 ppm/°C and +5.8 ppm/°C were achieved in 0.92Li2ZnGeO4-0.08CaTiO3 and 0.90Li2MgGeO4-0.10CaTiO3, respectively.
