Abstract
A high density single-phase lead magnesium niobate ceramic with the highest peak dielectric constant reported so far, has been synthesized and sintered simultaneously via a modified mixed oxide route, using mixed oxide nanopowder and single-step sintering. The mixed nanopowder was sintered at 1200 °C in air and PbO atmospheres. By comparison, samples sintered in air, gained pyrochlore structure, while those samples sintered in PbO atmosphere had pure perovskite structure. Pellets sintered for 2.5 h exhibited best dielectric properties with peak dielectric constant of 18,672 at the frequency of 1 kHz at −13 °C. The dielectric properties, compressibility, phase formation, densification, and microstructure of the samples were investigated.
