Abstract

Pellets in the ternary solid-solution Ba6-3xNd8+2xTi18O54 (x = 0.75) have been processed to near theoretical density by mixed-oxide synthesis, and their dielectric properties determined to be εr≈89, Qf>10,000, and τf≈+60 ppm/°C at microwave frequencies. Similar ceramics with Ca, Sr, and Pb partially substituted for Ba were also processed and analyzed. Both Ca and Sr were found to increase εr to 100-105 but significantly lower Qf and inflate τf. While Pb substitution also lowered Qf, it had no significant effect on εr and beneficially suppressed τf to values from -16 to +8 ppm/°C, tunable with Pb content, strongly suggesting that these materials may be useful for commercial applications.
