Abstract

Ba(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BCN) ceramics were prepared using a conventional solid-state route. Effects of sintering on microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics were systematically investigated. Appropriate sintering temperature could restrain the evaporation of CoO and the formation of Nb-rich phase. The dielectric constants and temperature coefficients of resonant frequency changed slightly with the variation in sintering temperatures. The high Q × f value with prolonged sintering time was related to the improvement of 1: 2 ordered arrangement in the B site, rather than the compactness of ceramics. Excellent microwave dielectric properties (εr=32.6, Q × f =86857 GHz, τf=−14 ppm/°C) were obtained in the Ba(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics sintered at 1380°C for 12 h.
