Abstract
In present work, the microwave dielectric properties of CaTiO3-added Li2Zn3Ti4O12 ceramics prepared by the conventional solid-state method have been investigated. The phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of (1 − x) Li2Zn3Ti4O12–x CaTiO3 (x = 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 wt%) ceramics were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDS and network analyzer. The XRD and EDS results indicated that the ceramics involved Li2Zn3Ti4O12 and CaTiO3 phases. The SEM micrographs shown that as the CaTiO3 contents increased, the average grain size of the composition ceramics decreased. The microwave dielectric properties of the composition ceramics can be effectively controlled by varying the CaTiO3 contents. The values of dielectric constant (er) and τf of the composition ceramics were increased, and the quality factor (Q × f) was decreased with increasing the CaTiO3 contents. Typically, a new temperature stable microwave dielectric material of 0.94 Li2Zn3Ti4O12–0.06 CaTiO3 with excellent microwave dielectric properties of er = 21.7, Q × f = 61,490 GHz, and τf = + 2.68 ppm/°C was attained when sintered at 1175 °C for 4 h.
