Abstract

Single-phase ceramics in the SrLa4−x Pr x La4Ti5O17 (0 ≤ x ≤ 4) series were processed via a solid-state sintering route. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed single-phase ceramics for all the compositions. The molar volume (V m) decreased while the theoretical density (ρ th) increased with increase in the Pr content. Substitution of Pr3+ decreased the relative permittivity (ε r) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f) due to its smaller ionic polarizability (α d) and ionic radius than La3+. In the present study, ε r ≈ 54.2, Q u f 0  ≈ 7935 GHz, and τ f  ≈ −20.3 ppm/°C were achieved for the composition with x = 2 (i.e., SrLa2Pr2Ti5O17).
