Microwave dielectric properties of (A2+(1/3)B5+(2/3))0.5Ti0(0.5)O2 (A2+ = Zn, Mg, B5+ = Nb, Ta) ceramics.
Dielectric properties of (A(2+)(1/3)B(5+)(2/3))(0.5)Ti0(0.5)O(2) (A(2+) = Zn, Mg, B(5+) = Nb, Ta) ceramics were investigated at microwave frequencies. A single phase with tetragonal rutile structure was obtained through the entire compositions. Dielectric properties were strongly dependent on the structural characteristics. The specimens with B(5+) = Nb showed a larger dielectric constant than those with B(5+) = Ta due to the decrease of bond valence. Quality factors (Qf) of the specimens with B(5+) = Ta were larger than those with B(5+) = Nb. Temperature coefficient of the resonant frequencies (TCF) of (Zn(1/3)Nb(2/3) )0(0.5)Ti0(0.5)O(2) was larger than that of (Mg(1/3)Ta(2/3))0(0.5)Ti0(0.5)O(2). These results could be attributed to the changes of the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant and the degree of oxygen octahedral distortion.
