Abstract

In this paper, the effects of Li2O–B2O3–Bi2O3–SiO2 (LBBS) glass on the phase formation, sintering characteristic, the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of temperature-stable (Mg0.95Co0.05)2TiO4–Li2TiO3 ceramics were investigated. (Mg0.95Co0.05)2TiO4–Li2TiO3 powders were obtained by using the traditional solid-state process. A small amount of LBBS doping can effectively reduce sintering temperature and promote the densification of the ceramics. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed not only the primary phase (Mg·Co)2TiO4 associated with Li2TiO3 minor phase but also a third phase (Mg·Co)TiO3. The dielectric constant and Qf values vary with the doping amount of LBBS and sintering temperatures. With the compensation of the positive temperature coefficient (τ f ) of Li2TiO3 and the negative τ f of (Mg0.95Co0.05)2TiO4, the τ f of the specimens fluctuates around zero. The (Mg0.95Co0.05)2TiO4 ceramic with 2.5 wt% LBBS addition and sintering at 900 °C for 4 h exhibited excellent microwave dielectric properties: ɛ r  = 19.076, Qf = 126100 GHz, and τ f  = 0.98 ppm/°C.
