Abstract
In the present work, the (1 − x)Li2Zn3Ti4O12–xLi2TiO3 (0.2 ≤ x ≤0.8) ceramics were prepared via the solid state reaction method. The 0.8Li2Zn3Ti4O12–0.2Li2TiO3 ceramic sample sintered at 1,160 °C for 2 h demonstrated high microwave dielectric property with a relative permittivity of 18.0, a high quality factor (Q × f) ~ 100,000 GHz (at 7.2 GHz), and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency about −47.8 ppm/°C. With 2.0 wt% 0.4B2O3–0.6CuO addition, a relative permittivity of 17.5, a Q × f value of 71,000 GHz and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of −44.4 ppm/oC can be obtained in 0.8Li2Zn3Ti4O12–0.2Li2TiO3 ceramic sintered at 925 °C for 5 h and the chemical compatibility with silver electrode indicates that the ceramics may be a suitable candidate for the low temperature co-fired ceramic technology application.
