Abstract

Ca9A(VO4)7 (A = La, Pr, Nd and Sm) ceramics have been prepared by conventional solid state ceramic route. The phase purity of the samples was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction technique. Raman spectroscopic studies confirm the existence of (VO4)3− vibrational groups in Ca9A(VO4)7 ceramics. Ca9A(VO4)7 (A = La, Pr, Nd and Sm) ceramics exhibit microwave dielectric properties of εr = 9.8 to 10.4, Qxf = 4500 to 14,900 GHz and low temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τf = −3.8 to −10.2 ppm/°C. Ca9A(VO4)7 ceramics with A = La, Nd and Sm show good chemical compatibility with Ag electrode and can be used as candidate materials for LTCC applications.
