ABSTRACT |
Microwave dielectric characteristics and physical properties of the new Zr$_{1-x}$ (Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$)xTi $O_4$ (0.2$leq$x$geq$ 1.0) system have been investigated as a function of the amount of Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$substitution. With increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ content (x), two phase regions were observed: $alpha$-Pb $O_2$ solid solution (x<0.4), mixture of the rutile type Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$Ti $O_4$ and the $alpha$-Pb $O_2$ solid solution (x$geq$0.4). In the$alpha$-Pb $O_2$solid solution region below x<0.4, the Q.f$_{0}$ value sharply increased and the Temperature Coefficient of the Resonant Frequency(TCF) decreased with increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ contents while dielectric constant (K) showed nearly same value. In the mixture region above x$geq$4, the dielectric constant and TCF increased with increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ content. Zr$_{1-x}$ (Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$)xTi $O_4$ materials have excellent microwave dielectric properties with K=44.0, Q.f$_{0}$ : 41000 GHz and TCF =-3.0 ppm/$^{circ}C$ at x=0.35.=0.35. x=0.35.=0.35. |
