“…8 In general, the high content of SiO 4 tetrahedra corresponds to low ε r for microwave dielectric ceramics. Silicates with low permittivity include MO-SiO 2 (M = Ba, Ca, Zn, Mg), [15][16][17][18][19][20] MO-NO-SiO 2 (M = Ba, Sr, Ca; N = Zn, Mg, Co, Cu), [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] MO-N 2 O 3 -SiO 2 (M = Ba, Ca; N = Al, Y, RE), 5,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37] and CaO-MO 2 -SiO 2 (M = Sn, Zr, Hf). [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] The low cost, absence of variable valence elements, and environmental friendliness of microwave dielectric ceramics should be considered for applications.…”
