摘要

LiMgVO4 ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. Their structure and microwave dielectric properties have been investigated in relation to sintering condition. The XRD patterns of sintered samples revealed the single-phase formation with orthorhombic structure. As sintering temperature/time increased, the bulk density, er and Q x f values increased to maximum and then decreased, respectively, while tau(f) value did not change remarkably. The LiMgVO4 ceramics sintered at 700 degrees C for 4 h showed optimized microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of epsilon(r) = 8.86, Q x f = 23,300 GHz (at 10.2 GHz) and tau(f) = -140 ppm/degrees C, and it did not react with Ag electrode, which make it a promising candidate for LTCC applications.
