Abstract
A number of compounds in the (1 − x)Mg0.95Zn0.05TiO3-x(Ca0.8Sr0.2)0.6 La0.267TiO3 (x = 0 to 0.25) composition series have been obtained via a polymeric precursor route to investigate the effect of increasing (Ca0.8Sr0.2)0.6La0.267TiO3 proportion on the phase, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of the sintered ceramics. Composite powders having nanometric particles were obtained by calcining the precursors at 700°C. Refinement results revealed that these samples comprised a mixture of Mg0.95Zn0.05TiO3 and (Ca0.8Sr0.2)0.6La0.267TiO3 ceramics. A combination of optimum microwave dielectric properties, i.e., dielectric constant of 25.17, quality factor of 58,754 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of −5.8 ppm/°C, was achieved for the x = 0.2 composition sintered at 1200°C.
