Preparation and Microwave Dielectric Properties of xBaZn2Ti4O11-(1-x)BaNd2Ti4O12 Ceramics

xBaZn2Ti4O11–(1-x)BaNd2Ti4O12 (x = 0.18–0.30) ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction method and their microwave dielectric properties were investigated with the purpose of finding a microwave ceramics with high dielectric constant (er), high quality factor (Q×f ) and zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf).The two phase system BaZn2Ti4O11–BaNd2Ti4O12 affected the unit cell volume and the microstructure, the microwave dielectric properties (er, Q×f, τf). As increasing x from 0.18 to 0.30, the main phase composition was BaNd2Ti4O12. Therefore, the er decreased from 64.9 to 60.3 and the Q×f values raised from 11,350GHz to 13,210GHz, and the τf values decreased from 7ppm/° to -5ppm/°.The 0.22BaZn2Ti4O11–0.78BaNd2Ti4O12 ceramics sintered at 1250°C for 4 h displayed the best dielectric constant er,Q×f and τf, as 63.9, 12380 GHz and-0.1 ppm/° respectively.
