Abstract

Barium metaniobate, BaNb2O6 with polymorphic orthorhombic and hexagonal forms was prepared by solid-state reaction. Hexagonal BaNb2O6 is the low temperature phase, and can be transformed to the orthorhombic phase over a broad temperature range above 1150°C. It was observed that the hexagonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition is reversible due to the structural similarity of these two polymorphs. The difference in transition kinetics and associated mechanisms could be confirmed from the analysis of time dependence of transformed phase. We also found the dielectric properties of each phase to be significantly different. In particular, orthorhombic BaNb2O6 has good microwave dielectric properties: Q × f = 43,000 GHz, εr = 30, τf = -45ppm/°C.
