Abstract

The sintering properties, microstructures and dielectric characteristics of Ba6-3x(La1-m Bim)8+2x (Ti0.95Zr0.05)18O54 (x=2/3) microwave dielectric ceramics prepared by conventional solid-state route were studied. The results show that Bi3+ replaced La3+ into A1 rhombic sites and a single-phase solid solution with tungstenbronze-like structure formed in the range of 0<m<0.4. When Bi3+ content exceeds this range, a second phase of La0.176Bi0.824O1.5 appears in the solid solution. Bi doping can lower the sintering temperature of Ba6-3x(La1-m Bim)8+2x (Ti0.95 Zr0.05)18O54(x=2/3) ceramics from 1400°C to 1300°C, while a significant improvement of dielectric constant is achieved. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) decreases, and the quality factor (Q·f) rapidly decreases. When m=0.05, the optimal microwave dielectric characteristics are achieved as εr=88.63, Q·f=4395 GHz, τf=6.25×10-6/°C.
