Abstract

SrO–B2O3–SiO2 (SBS) glass powders were prepared and employed as sintering aids to reduce the sintering temperature of Ba(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 (BFN) ceramics. The effects of glass content on the dielectric properties and breakdown strength of BFN ceramics have been investigated. The volume density characterization results of (1 − x) BFN − x SBS ceramics indicate that the sintering temperature of BFN ceramics decreased by 200–350 °C with SBS glass addition (when x = 0, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05). The XRD patterns show BFN ceramics indicate cubic crystal structure and without the formation of a secondary phase. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss decreased gradually with increasing glass content, and the dielectric loss decreased by one order of magnitude with SBS glass addition (when x = 0.05). The breakdown strength of (1 − x) BFN − x SBS ceramics increase with increasing glass content, in which is about 33.90 kV/cm with SBS glass addition (when x = 0.05). These improvements in the dielectric characteristics of BFN ceramics have great scientific significance for their applications.
