Abstract
In this study, Ca4−xLa2+xTi5−xBxO17 (B = Al, Ga; x = 0, 1) ceramics were processed via a mixed oxide solid state sintering route and characterized using XRD, SEM, EDS and Vector Network Analyzer. Phase analysis of the samples showed single phase formation for the sample x = 0 while secondary phases formed for Ca4−xLa2+xTi5−xBxO17 (B = Al, Ga; x = 1) ceramics. Ca4La2Ti5O17 exhibited ∈r = 74, Q×fo = 14,116 GHz and τf = 157 ppm/°C. The substitution of Ga or Al for Ti at the B-site of Ca4La2Ti5O17 ceramics significantly improved the microwave dielectric properties i.e. Ca3La3Ti4GaO17 and Ca3La3Ti4AlO17 have ∈r = 44, Q×fo = 16,128 GHz and τf = 7.3 ppm/°C and ∈r = 46, Q×fo = 13,754 GHz and τf = −2 ppm/°C, respectively. The microwave dielectric properties of these materials are suitable for high frequency microwave applications.
