摘要

A new high-Q microwave dielectric ceramic MgZrTa2O8 was investigated for the first time. Single monoclinic-structured MgZrTa2O8 was obtained by the conventional solid-state route and sintered at 1390-1470 degrees C for 5 h. The variation trend of dielectric constant was in accordance with that of relative density and ionic polarizability. The Q x f value increased by increasing the packing fraction. The temperature coefficient of T-f correlated with the variation of bond valence of Ta-site. In summary, the MgZrTa2O8 ceramic sintered at 1450 degrees C showed excellent microwave dielectric properties of epsilon(r)similar to 29.5, Q x f similar to 140,900 GHz, tau(f)similar to-44.3 ppm/degrees C. These make MgZrTa2O8 material a very promising candidates for the application in microwave electronics.
