Abstract
The tungsten bronze-type-like single-phase polycrystalline ceramics (Ba1−αSrα) Sm2Ti4O12 have been prepared through the solid-state ceramic route. The phases and structure of the ceramics were analyzed through X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were studied using a network analyzer. In this paper, improvement of quality factor (Q × f) by substituting small Sr ions for Ba ions in (Ba1−αSrα) Sm2Ti4O12 solid solutions in A1-sites, is reported. In addition, the relationship between crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties is discussed from the viewpoint of structural formula and occupational state of large cations such as Ba, Sr ions in A1-sites.
