Abstract

In the present study, combined usage of cobalt and tantalum ionic substitution strategy was adopted on the (Zn1−xCox)0.5Ti0.5(Nb0.9Ta0.1)O4 ceramics, where the phase constitutions and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. It is shown that a finite ixiolite-type Zn0.5Ti0.5NbO4 solid solution can only be synthesized at x = 0–0.1. With the increase of cobalt ionic content at x = 0.2–0.3, a formation of a rutile phase indexed as Zn0.15Nb0.3Ti0.55O2 was detected, which is testified by the Rietveld refinement method and Raman spectra analysis. Benefitted by the appearance of the secondary phase, the microwave dielectric properties, especially the τf value of (Zn1−xCox)0.5Ti0.5(Nb0.9Ta0.1)O4 ceramics were greatly improved, which well agrees with the theoretical prediction of dielectric properties based on mixture rule. Based on the results, it indicates that an excellent promotion effect of the combined usage of cobalt and tantalum oxides can benefit the microwave dielectric properties of the Zn0.5Ti0.5NbO4-based ceramics. Specifically, the (Zn1−xCox)0.5Ti0.5(Nb0.9Ta0.1)O4 (y = 0.1, x = 0.25) ceramic synthesized at 1175 °C shows excellent microwave dielectric properties: εr = 40.3, Q × f = 22,054 GHz,, and τf =  − 5.2 ppm/oC.
