Abstract

Abstract:

Barium feldspar BaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ system materials have been studied extensively for application in microwave devices, microwave substrate and packaging in recent years, due to their remarkable dielectric properties. The hexacelsian-celsian transition, relationship between dielectric properties, and structure of BaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ system has attracted widely academic interest. Ba_1-_xMg_xAl₂Si₂O₈ (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.3, 0.5) ceramics were prepared by solid state sintering processing. The crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties of BaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ with different MgO contents were studied. The results show that MgO doping reduces sintering temperature and greatly promotes the transition from hexacelisian to celsian at x≥0.15, while the transition reachs 100%. MgO doping effectively increases grain size at x≤0.15. The diffraction peak of celsian is enhanced and the grain size gets larger. Moreover, the density, dielectric constant andτ_f of Ba_1-_xMg_xAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics increases with the increase of MgO content in the range of 0.05≤x≤0.1. In addition, the resonant frequency temperature coefficient is negative. The Ba_0.9Mg_0.1Al₂Si₂O₈ sintered at 1400℃ exhibits a high Q×f value of 16461 GHz, ε_r=6.44 and τ_f= -30.6×10^-6K^-1 at x=0.1. The dielectric constant of Ba_1-_xMg_xAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics is related with its Mg²⁺ polarizability and its structure. The effect of electronegativity, the size of ions and the crystal structure on Q×f value of Ba_1-_xMg_xAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics are also discussed.

Key words: magnesium oxide, feldspar, celsian, crystal structure, microwave dielectric properties
