Abstract

This paper presents an investigation of the structural characteristics of Nb1/2Bi1/2 (CNBTO), Nb1/2Fe1/2 (CNFTO) and Nb2/3Li1/3 (CNLTO) substitution into the B-site of calcium titanate ceramics. The modified CaTiO3 (CTO) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state method. The compounds were investigated, by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The X-ray analysis shows that all samples have an orthorhombic structure. The refinement analysis of all samples were also performed and discussed in this paper. For all studied samples, a Raman mode at 805 cm(-1) was detected and its intensity increases as the substitution increases. The dielectric permittivity and loss at microwave frequencies (MW) were investigated. The CNLTO phase, present the highest dielectric constant (k = 35.8) at 3.9 GHz with loss (tg alpha = 7 x 10(-3)). The lowest value of k = 25.7 (f = 4.8 GHz) and tg alpha = 3 X 10(-3), Was obtained for the CNFTO phase. These measurements confirm the possible use of such material for microwave devices like dielectric resonator antennas. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
