Abstract:

The Ca0.25(Li0.43Sm0.57)0.75TiO3 (CLST) ceramic nano-powder was prepared by Sol-Gel method. The influences of ZnO doping content and sintering temperature on sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of CLST ceramics were investigated. A phase transition from orthorhombic to pseudo cubic symmetry was identified by XRD analysis, and a impure phase was found in the x≥1.5 samples. The densification sintering temperature of the CLST+xmol% ZnO ceramics decrease with increasing ZnO doping content, and it reduces from 1300℃ to 1100℃ when the amount of ZnO doping increase from x=0 to x=1.0. The results also reveal that both the dielectric constant εr and the quality factor Qf possess a peak value with increasing ZnO doping content or sintering temperature, whereas the frequency temperature coefficient τf decrease monotonously. The x=1.0 sample sintered at 1100℃ for 2 h has optimal microwave dielectric properties: ρ = 4.85 g/cm3, εr = 102.8, Qf = 5424 GHz, τf =-8.2×10-6/℃, respectively, which indicates that the CLST ceramic doped with 1.0mol% ZnO is a promising microwave dielectric ceramic.
