Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Polycrystalline nonstoichiometric Ba(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BCN) materials have been synthesized and investigated. Deviations from stoichiometry have been shown to lead to the formation of crystalline Ba6CoNb9O30 (barium deficiency) and Ba8CoNb6O24 (cobalt deficiency). The effect of phase composition on the microwave dielectric properties of BCN has been studied. The results demonstrate that the dielectric properties of BCN-based materials can be tuned by varying cobalt content. The materials obtained are high-Q microwave dielectrics with temperature-stable properties.
