Low sintering temperature Na0.48La0.48Nd0.04MoO4 ceramics: high Q × f value characteristics and structure–performance correlation based on P–V–L theory
摘要
Based on the Na0.48La0.52MoO4 ceramic, this study replaced La3+ ions with Nd3+ ions through ion substitution, which significantly increased the Q × f of Na0.48La0.52MoO4 and reduced the sintering temperature. The good sintering state of this series of ceramics was demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and density tests. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy results revealed the formation of solid solutions without the presence of secondary phases or impurities. The P–V–L theory indicated that the Na/La/Nd–O bond-to-bond ionicity (fi) contribution was dominant, while the Mo–O bond also played a significant role in the lattice energy (U), bond energy (E), and thermal expansion coefficient (α). Among them, the Na0.48La0.48Nd0.04MoO4 ceramic achieved the best dielectric performance at 900 °C, with ɛr = 11.027 ± 0.018, Q × f = 113,805 ± 6,358 GHz, and τf = − 23.36 ppm/℃. Through ion substitution, these materials all have low sintering temperatures and high Q × f values, making them ideal candidates for low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC).
