Abstract
The first characterization of the microwave dielectric properties of ZnZrTa2O8 ceramic is presented. Single phase ZnZrTa2O8 ceramics with wolframite structure were prepared by a conventional mixed-oxide route and sintered in the temperature range of 1280-1360 °C. The microstructures and microwave dielectric properties were investigated systematically. The variation trend of εr was in accordance with that of relative density and molecular volume. The Q Ã f value was mainly depended on the atomic packing fraction. The Ïf was found to be correlated with the variation of bond valence of the A- and B-site cations. The ZnZrTa2O8 ceramic sintered at 1320 °C for 6 h exhibited excellent microwave dielectric properties of εr â¼Â 32, Q Ã f â¼Â 110,700 GHz, and Ïf â¼Â â32 ppm/°C. This constitutes a very promising material for microwave applications.
