Improved microwave dielectric properties of CaMgSi2O6 ceramics through CuO doping

High-performance dielectric materials for microwave communication requires low dielectric constants (εr < 10), high quality factor (Qf) and near-zero temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (τf). However, CaMgSi2O6 ceramics typically exhibit low Qf and largely negative τf, despite its low...

description High-performance dielectric materials for microwave communication requires low dielectric constants (εr < 10), high quality factor (Qf) and near-zero temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (τf). However, CaMgSi2O6 ceramics typically exhibit low Qf and largely negative τf, despite its low εr. In this study, nominal composition CaMg1-xCuxSi2O6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.16) ceramics were synthesized via a solid-state reaction. Enhanced microwave dielectric properties were achieved in the x = 0.04 ceramic sintered at 1250 °C with εr = 7.41, Qf = 160 100 GHz (two times better than the previously reported values), and τf = −42 ppm/°C. Benefited from the optimal CuO doping, this enhancement in microwave dielectric property was realized by the contribution of order structure and the densification. Excess CuO doping, which can lead to a phase transition (from C2/c to P21/c), could degenerate the microwave dielectric properties of the CaMgSi2O6 ceramics. Considering the excellent microwave dielectric properties, the CuO-doped CaMgSi2O6 ceramic is a promising candidate material for microwave communication applications.
