A series of dense ceramic samples in the (1 -x)BiVO 4 -xLi 0.5 Re 0.5 WO 4 (Re = La, Nd; 0.05 B xB 0.11) has been prepared by using the traditional solid state reaction method. A single solid solution phase with monoclinic structure is formed through the entire compositions and the unit cell volume increases linearly with x. When x = 0.09, the composition of 0.91BiVO 4 -0.09 Li 0.5 La 0.5 WO 4 readily sintered at 750°C shows good microwave properties with e r of 76.7, Q 9 f of 6789 GHz and s f of 7.3 ppm/°C. As x = 0.08, the 0.92BiVO 4 -0.08Li 0.5 Nd 0.5 WO 4 ceramic sintered at 750°C possesses excellent microwave dielectric properties of e r = 71.8, Q 9 f = 7482 GHz and s f = 0.8 ppm/°C. These ceramics have applications for microwave devices requiring high permittivity and ultra-low sintering temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
