摘要
The columbites MgNb2O6, MgTa2 O6, and corundum-type Mg4Nb2 O9 ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state ceramic route. The structure and microstructure of the sintered samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic techniques. The microwave dielectric properties of the samples were measured by the resonance method in the frequency range 4-6GHz. The dielectric properties have been tailored by forming a solid solution between MgNb2O6 and MgTa2O6 and by the substitution of TiO2 for Nb2 O5 in both MgNb2O6 and Mg4 Nb2O9 ceramics. The Mg(Nb0.7 Ta1.3)O6 has εr=29, Qu × f =67800GHz, and τf=0.8ppm/°C and the MgO-(0.4)Nb2O5 -(1.5)TiO2 composition has εr=34.5, Qu × f =81300GHz, and τf=-2ppm/°C. © 2007 The American Ceramic Society.
