Abstract: The effects of NdAlO3 additives on the microstructure and the dielectric properties of Ba4.2Nd9.2Ti18O 54 (BNT) materials were investigated.
The microstructure of BNT doped with NdAlO3 was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and FESEM. The results show that the solid solutions are
formed between Ba4.2Nd9.2Ti18O54 and the NdAlO3 additives. The relative permittivity and the TCf values show a linear
decrease with the increase of NdAlO3 additive. The Q values exhibit a non-linear behaviour and reach maximiun (11400GHz) for the NdAlO3
additive at approximately 10wt%, while the relative permittivity and the TCf values are 66.29 (3.5GHz) and -0.7ppm/℃, respectively.
