摘要
The Ba_(12)ReNb_(9)O_(36)(Re=Yb,Ce,Tm,Er,Y,Ho,Dy,Gd)ceramics are synthesized by solid-phase reaction method.The phase composition,crystal structure,microstructure,and microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics are investigated by X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,Scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectrum.The optimal microwave dielectric properties(ε_(r)=37.23,Q×f=36600 GHz,andτ_(f)=34 ppm/℃)are obtained for Ba_(12)YbNb_(9)O_(36) ceramic sintered at 1420℃for 6 h.In this system,the variation of dielectric constant is dominated by polarizability.The Q×f is mainly affected by internal strain/fluctuation of d-spacing.The variation of τ_(f) is related to the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant and the oxygen octahedron distortion.Furthermore,the reduction of Ce^(4+) ions,the relative density,linear thermal expansion coefficient,and the second phase are also important factors affecting microwave dielectric properties.
