Abstract

Abstract:

(1-x)(Sr_0.2Nd_0.208Ca_0.488)TiO₃-xNd(Ti_0.5Mg_0.5)O₃(0.3≤ x ≤0.4, SNCT-NTMx) ceramics were prepared by solid sate reaction technique. In addition, the crystal structure, microstructures, sintering properties, and microwave dielectric properties of the SNCT-NTMx ceramics were investigated. These results showed that an orthorhombic perovskite structure with a minor amount of unknown secondary phase was formed in the ceramics with the compositions of 0.3≤ x ≤0.35. Additionally, the content of the second phase gradually increased with increasing x value to 0.4. For the SNCT-NTMx ceramics with an increase in NTM content, the dielectric constant (ε_r) decreased, while the quality factor (Q×f) effectively improved, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequencies (τ_f) gradually shifted to negative direction. An optimized microwave dielectric properties with ε_r~ 50.1, Q×f ~ 44, 910 GHz and τ_f~ -1.7×10^-6/℃ could be obtained for the ceramics with x = 0.35 after being sintered at 1520℃ for 4 h.
