Enhanced temperature stability of resonant frequency of Ba0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1Cu0.9A0.1Si2O6 microwave dielectric ceramic by entropy configuration regulation
摘要
A series of Ba0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1Cu0.9A0.1Si2O6 (A = Zn, Zn1/2Mg1/2, Zn1/3Mg1/3Co1/3, Zn1/4Mg1/4Co1/4Ni1/4, Zn1/5Mg1/5Co1/5Ni1/5Mn1/5) ceramics were fabricated through the entropy configuration design strategy, and the influence of entropy variations on the dielectric properties of Ba0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1Cu0.9A0.1Si2O6 ceramics was systematically investigated, and the optimization mechanism of dielectric property under entropy regulation was elucidated. Dense Ba0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1Cu0.9A0.1Si2O6 ceramics with a tetragonal structure (I41-acd) were obtained by sintering at 960 ~ 980 °C. The results showed that changing the entropy value can not only reduce the sintering temperature of Ba0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1Cu0.9A0.1Si2O6 ceramics, but also adjust the temperature stability of the resonant frequency. Among them, the Ba0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1Cu0.9(Zn1/5Mg1/5Co1/5Ni1/5Mn1/5)0.1Si2O6 ceramic fired at 960 °C exhibited the best microwave dielectric properties (τf = − 9.6 ppm/°C, εr = 7.94, Q × f = 14,978 GHz). This indicates that the resonant frequency temperature stability of Ba0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1Cu0.9A0.1Si2O6 ceramics can be optimized by adjusting the A-site entropy value, and this strategy has broad application prospects in the development of high-temperature stability microwave dielectric ceramics.
