Abstract
The effect of B2O3 and CuO on the sintering temperature and microwave dielectric properties of BaTi4O9 ceramics was investigated. The BaTi4O9 ceramics were able to be sintered at 975°C when B2O3 was added. This decrease in the sintering temperature of the BaTi4O9 ceramics upon the addition of B2O3 is attributed to the formation of BaB2O4 second phase whose melting temperature is around 900°C. The B2O3 added BaTi 4O9 ceramics alone were not sintered below 975°C, but were sintered at 875°C when CuO was added. The formation of BaCu(B 2O5) second phase could be responsible for the decrease in the sintering temperature of the CuO and B2O3 added BaTi4O9 ceramics. The BaTi4O9 ceramics containing 2.0 mol% B2O3 and 5.0 mol% CuO sintered at 900°C for 2 h have good microwave dielectric properties of εr = 36.3, Q× f = 30,500 GHz and τf = 28.1 ppm/°C.
