Effect of bond valence on microwave dielectric properties of (Pb_(1-x)Ca_x)(Mg_0.33Ta_0.67)O_3 ceramics

摘要

The relationship between the dielectric properties of the complex perovskite (Pb_(1-x)Ca_x)(Mg_0.33Ta_0.67)O_3 ceramics, where 0.45 <= x <= 0.60, and the dielectric polarizability, related to bond valences of A-site ions, was investigated at microwave frequencies. As the Ca content (x) increased, the deviation of the observed dielectric polarizabilities, calculated by the Clausius-Mosotti equation from the theoretical values calculated by the additivity rule of dielectric polarizability, decreased from -3 percent to -0.69 percent. It was found that this deviation was related to the bond valence of the A-site. Smaller negative deviation corresponded to the cations with lower bond valence, and larger negative deviation corresponded to the cations with higher bond valence. Also, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) was affected by the bond valence of the a-site, and then TCF decreased with decreasing bond valence of the A-site in ABO_3 perovskite comp0ounds.
