Abstract

BiNbO4 ceramic powders were prepared using the sol-gel method. The fine particles were pressed into cylinders and, then, they were treated at temperatures between 500 and 1150°C.The structure was studied by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy and the morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy.The measurements of the complex permittivity were made in a resonant cavity operating at 2.7GHz, using the small perturbation method.The reversible phase transformation between β-BiNbO4 and α-BiNbO4 was observed.The density, dielectric constant (ε') and the dielectric loss (tg δ) of the prepared powders increase with the sintering temperature, and the sample treated at 1150°C shows the highest ε' and the highest Q×f.
