We investigated effects of substituting cobalt for magnesium on microstructures and microwave dielectric properties of BaMg1/3Nb2/3O3 ceramics. Nucleation and growth of 1:2 ordered domains dominate microstructural variations for Ba(Mg1−xCox)1/3Nb2/3O3 ceramics. Microstructures such as grains sizes and domain sizes significantly dominate variations of Q × f value. Less ordered domains are nucleated when substituting small amount of cobalt (x < 0.1). Accordingly, domains and grains significantly grow with increased cobalt substitution. The 1:2 ordering degree is subsequently increased, and Q × f achieves a maximum value at x = 0.05. Nevertheless, while cobalt substitution exceeds x = 0.1, more ordered nuclei occur and consequently affect the domain growth and the grain growth. The Q × f value remarkably decreases at x = 0.1, and varies due to different ordering degrees and compositions. The Q × f value of specimens at x = 0.05 becomes as high as 43,000, and is similar to that of specimens at x = 0.5.
