Abstract

The Li2(Mg0.9A0.1)4TiO7 (A = Co2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. A series of Li2(Mg0.9A0.1)4TiO7 ceramics were investigated in regard to the sintering temperatures, crystal structures and dielectric properties. The Li2(Mg0.9A0.1)4TiO7 ceramic exhibited a single phase of Li2Mg4TiO7, and the Rietveld refinement was used to analyze the crystal structure. The Li2(Mg0.9Ca0.1)4TiO7 ceramics could be sintered below 1350 °C with high densities, high dielectric constants and near zero τf values. The maximum Q·f value of Li2(Mg0.9Zn0.1)4TiO7 was higher than that of Li2(Mg0.9A0.1)4TiO7 (A = Co2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, Ca2+). The optimum microwave dielectric properties of εr = 14.77, a high Q·f value of 162,200 GHz and τf = − 4.30 ppm/°C were achieved in Li2(Mg0.9Zn0.1)4TiO7 ceramic sintered at 1500 °C. In addition, Li2(Mg0.9Ca0.1)4TiO7 ceramic sintered at 1300 °C exhibited the suitable dielectric properties with a high εr value of 15.79, Q·f = 100,300 GHz and a near zero τf value of − 1.43 ppm/°C.
