Influence of Non-Stoichiometry on the Structure and Properties of Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 Microwave Dielectrics: I. Substitution of Ba3W2O9

چکیده
A narrow region of Zn-vacancy-containing cubic perovskites was formed in the (1-x)Ba3(ZnNb2)O9-x)Ba3W2O9 system up to 2 mol%substitution (x=0.02). The introduction of cation vacancies enhanced the stability of the 1:2 B-site ordered form of the structure, Ba(Zn1-x-x)1/3(Nb1-xWx)2/ 3O3, which underwent an order–disorder transition at 1410°C, ∼35° higher than pure Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3. The Zn vacancies also accelerated the kinetics of the ordering reaction, and samples with x=0.006 comprised large ordered domains with a high lattice distortion (c/a=1.226) after a 12 h anneal at 1300°C. The tungstatecontaining solid solutions can be sintered to a high density at 1390°C, and the resultant ordered ceramics exhibit some of the highest microwave dielectric Q factors (Q×f=1 18 000 at 8 GHz) reported for a niobatebased perovskite.

High Q ceramics of Ba3W2O9 (BW)-substituted Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3) O3 (BZN) were prepared with a zero τf through the partial substitution of Zn by Ni and Co. The small concentrations of B-site vacancies introduced by the substitution of BW accelerated the kinetics and stability of the cation ordering and lowered the sintering temperature. Dense, zero τzf, ordered solid solutions such as 0.99Ba(Zn0.3Co0...

The effect of different muffling environments on the structure and dielectric losses of Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BZN) microwave ceramics was investigated. The microwave dielectric losses of stoichiometric BZN pellets heated in ZnO-rich environments were severely degraded (e.g. Q×f~15 000 in ZnO powder) compared with samples muffled in their own powder (Q×f~80 000). Structure analyses and gravimetric m...

The formation of non-stoichiometric cubic perovskite solid solutions based on BaZn1/3Nb2/3O3 (BZN) was examined along 10 different directions in the BaO–ZnO–Nb2O5 ternary system. Limited ranges of nonstoichiometry were observed along several pseudo-binaries and the BZN structure can accommodate a variety of different types of defects. Although the deviations from stoichiometry are quite small, ...

The hexagonal perovskite, Ba8ZnTa6O24, was prepared in single-phase form and was found to be a stable secondary phase, formed as a result of the loss of ZnO from Ba(Zn1/3Ta2/3)O3 microwave dielectrics. The experimental and calculated X-ray patterns of Ba8ZnTa6O24 indicate it is isostructural with Ba8Ta6NiO24 with an 8H (cchc)2 close-packed BaO3 stacking sequence and the lattice parameters, a=10...

In the homovalent alloy PZT, the energetics are found to be mainly driven by atomic relaxations. In the heterovalent alloys BZN and PZN, however, electrosta...
