Microwave dielectric properties of Ca[(Li1/3Nb2/3)1−xTix]O3−δ ceramics with glass

The effect of the addition of glass on the densification, low temperature sintering, and microwave dielectric properties of the Ca[(Li1/3Nb2/3)1−xTix]O3−δ(CLNT) was investigated. Addition of glass (B2O3-ZnO-SiO2-PbO system) improved the densification and reduced the sintering temperature from 1150∘C to 900∘C of Ca[(Li1/3Nb2/3)1−x-Tix]O3−δ microwave dielectric ceramics. As increasing glass contents from 10 wt% to 15 wt%, the dielectric constants (εr) and bulk density were increased. The quality factor (Q⋅f0), however, was decreased slightly. The temperature coefficients of the resonant frequency (τf) shifted positive value as increasing glass contents over Ti content is 0.2 mol. The dielectric properties of Ca[(Li1/3Nb2/3)0.75Ti0.25]O3−δ with 10 wt% glass sintered at 900∘C for 3 h were εr = 40 Q·f0 = 11500 GHz, τf = 8, ppm/°C. The relationship between the microstructure and dielectric properties of ceramics was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM).
