Effect of Sn4+ and W6+ substitution on the dielectric properties of Bi2O3–ZnO–Nb2O5-based low firing ceramics

Abstract

As a promising candidate for thermostable Lowtemperature co-fired ceramic material with NP0 characteristic, (Bi 1.8 Zn 0.2 )(Zn 0.6 Nb 1.4-2x Sn x W x )O 7 (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10) dielectric ceramics with improved dielectric properties were prepared by conventional mixed oxide route. The effect of the chemical substitution of Sn 4? and W 6? cations on the structure and dielectric properties in this system had been investigated systematically. The Sn 4? and W 6? co-substitution was tentatively introduced in cubicmonoclinic pyrochlores co-existing ceramics and the results showed regular influence on the structure, dielectric properties with the amount of substitution. With the structure evaluation and electrical properties measurement results, the Sn 4? and W 6? substituted Nb 5? in B site showed an effective way to depress the grain growth and the ceramic with fine grains in 1-3 lm that can be obtained at a low sintering temperature of 950°C. Based on these results, small amount of Sn 4? and W 6? substitution was successfully applied to a base ceramic with the electrical properties, which can be a promising candidate for LTCC and multilayer components applications in high frequency and microwave range.

“…Figure 9 Due to the ability of dipoles in nanocomposites specimens to rotate in the direction of the applied electric eld and the reduction of space charges or interfacial polarization to overall polarization, decreases with increasing frequency for all samples(Youn et al 2001)(Li et al 2014). Variation of 'ε for thin lms (Bi 2 O 3 /ZnO) NPs content at 100Hz is shown in Fig.10.…”
