The stability of K 2 NiF 4 structure in MRAlO 4 (M= Sr and Ca; R==La, Nd, Sm, and Y) ceramics was discussed via calculating the relative difference between the tolerance factors for ABCO 4 and ABO 3 structure, and the K 2 NiF 4 structure became unstable when the above difference was greater than 4.3%. Among the above ceramics, CaLaAlO 4 and SrYAlO 4 were not stable. To improve the stability of K 2 NiF 4 structure in CaLaAlO 4 , the effects of Sr substitution for Ca were investigated. The stability of K 2 NiF 4 structure in (Ca 1−x Sr x )LaAlO 4 ceramics increased with increasing x, and it became stable when x >0.9. Good microwave dielectric properties were achieved in (Ca 0.05 Sr 0.95 )LaAlO 4 ceramics: e=16.7, Q.f =28,171 GHz, t f =−52.4 ppm/°C.
