Ba{sub 3}ZnTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} and Ba{sub 3}MgTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} (0{<=}x{<=}1): synthesis, structure and dielectric properties

Oxides belonging to the families Ba{sub 3}ZnTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} and Ba{sub 3}MgTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} were synthesized by the solid state reaction route. Sintering temperatures of 1300 deg. C led to oxides with disordered (cubic) perovskite structure. However, on sintering at 1425 deg. C hexagonally ordered structures were obtained for Ba{sub 3}MgTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} over the entire range (0{<=}x{<=}1) of composition, while for Ba{sub 3}ZnTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} the ordered structure exists in a limited range (0{<=}x{<=}0.5). The dielectric constant is close to 30 for the Ba{sub 3}ZnTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} family of oxides while the Mg analogues have lower dielectric constant of {approx}18 in the range 50 Hz to 500 kHz. At microwave frequencies (5-7 GHz) dielectric constant increases with increase in niobium concentration (22-26) for Ba{sub 3}ZnTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9}; for Ba{sub 3}MgTa{sub 2-x}Nb{sub x}O{sub 9} it varies between 12 and 14. The 'Zn' compounds have much higher quality factors and lower temperature coefficient of resonant frequency compared to the 'Mg' analogues.
