Abstract

0.75CaTi1-x(Zn1/3Nb2/3)xO3-0.25SmAlO3 (CT1-xZNxSA) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.09) ceramics were synthesized by a solid-state reaction process. The effects of (Zn1/3Nb2/3)4+ co-substitution on the structure and dielectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. Every sample presented a single orthogonal perovskite structure. Moderate amounts of (Zn1/3Nb2/3)4+ substitution effectively improved the densification, dielectric properties, flexural strength, and lowered the sintering temperature, while excessive substitution deteriorated the overall performance. Excellent properties were achieved for 0.75CaTi0.97(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.03O3-0.25SmAlO3 ceramics sintered at 1450 °C for 5 h, including εr = 54.23, Q × f = 31,063 GHz (at 4.85 GHz), τf =  + 16.7 ppm/℃, a =  + 10.99 ppm/℃, R = 135.16 MPa.
