Abstract

(Ba1−xSrx)(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) microwave dielectric ceramics had been prepared using the solid-state reaction method. The dense microstructures with small grains were obtained. All Sr2+ substituted samples exhibited the perovskite phase. The structure transition from cubic to hexagonal occurred with the increase of x, which led to higher degree of 1:2 ordered structure in the B site. The improved Q × f value was correlated monotonously with the ordering parameters S. The dielectric constant (εr) and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) could be effectively tuned by tailoring x. A good combination of microwave dielectric properties was obtained for (Ba0.95Sr0.05)(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 sintered at 1380 °C: εr = 33.3, Q × f = 87,120 GHz, τf = 4 ppm/°C.
