Abstract
The phase assemblage and dielectric properties of Nd(Zn1/2Ti 1/2)03 (NZT) and La(Zn1/2Ti 1/2)O3 (LZT) ceramics prepared via the mixed-oxide route were investigated in this study. Single-phase ceramics were synthesised for both LZT and NZT at every sintering temperature below 1500°C, at which temperature traces of (La,Nd)TiO5 were apparent on pellet surfaces. Both compositions also have promising dielectric properties. In particular, LZT has ∞r ≈ 34, Qf ≈ 36,000, and τ f = -70 MK-1; while NZT has ∞r=36, Q f ≈ 42,300, and τf = -47 MK-1. Clearly these materials show potential as filters for mobile microwave telecommunications.
