Abstract
- A series of 2.5ZnO-(5−x)TiO<subscript>2</subscript>-xZrO<subscript>2</subscript>-2.5Nb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>5</subscript> (abbreviated as ZTZN, 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) composite ceramics were prepared by a solid state reaction method. The phase composition and microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns displayed the coexistence of ZnTiNb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>8</subscript> and Zn<subscript>0.17</subscript>Nb<subscript>0.33</subscript>Ti<subscript>0.5</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript> phases. With increasing the sintering temperature, the bulk density (ρ), permittivity (ε<subscript>r</subscript>) and temperature coefficient of resonator frequency (τ<subscript>f</subscript>) increased. With increasing the ZrO<subscript>2</subscript> content, the ρ firstly increased and then decreased, Q × f value increased, ε<subscript>r</subscript> and τ<subscript>f</subscript> value decreased. Importantly, the τ<subscript>f</subscript> value of ZTZN ceramics (0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) could be adjusted to near-zero. The 2.5ZnO-4.7TiO<subscript>2</subscript>-0.3ZrO<subscript>2</subscript>-2.5Nb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>5</subscript> ceramics sintered at 1075 °C exhibited the best comprehensive performances of Q × f = 30,155 GHz, ε<subscript>r</subscript> = 44 and τ<subscript>f</subscript> = 0.89 ppm/°C, indicating that they are candidates for microwave devices.
