Abstract

The effect of ZrO₂ on crystallographic order, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃ (BZT) ceramics was investigated. A small amount of ZrO₂ disturbed the 1:2 cation ordering. The average grain size of the BZT significantly increased with the addition of ZrO₂, which was attributed to liquid-phase formation. The relative density increased with the addition of a small amount of ZrO₂, but It decreased when the ZrO₂ content was increased. Variation of the dielectric constant with ZrO₂ addition ranged between 27 and 30, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency increased abruptly as the ZrO₂ amount exceeded 2.0 mol%. The Q value of the BZT significantly improved with the addition of ZrO₂, which could be explained by the increased relative density and grain size. The maximum Q×f value achieved in this investigation was ∼164 000 GHz for the BZT with 2.0 mol% ZrO₂ sintered at 1550°C for 10 h.
