Abstract
Ceramics with high dielectric permittivity are of intense interest due
to their enabling role in the miniaturization of electronic devices. In
particular, lithium niobate (LiNbO3), due to its remarkable
pyroelectrical, piezoelectrical and photorefractive properties, is an
important material for a large variety of technological applications.
Lithium ferrite (LiFe5O8) is another very interesting ferromagnetic
material due to its square hysteresis loop, high Curie temperature. It
is of technology importance as a low-cost substitute of garnet ferrites
in several devices. In this work we present the studies on the composite
material with LiNbO3 and LiFe5O8 here described by (x) LiFe5O8 (100-x) LiNbO3 with x = 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 (wt%). The structure and the
dielectric properties of the samples, processed in a domestic microwave
oven and by the conventional solid state method, are discussed. The
influence of thermal treatment time and temperature was investigated.
