Abstract

Dielectric ceramics for wireless communications exhibiting modest permittivity, high quality factor (Q), and near-zero temperature coefficient are needed for high-frequency, high power applications. Efforts are in progress to replace Ta2O5-based ceramics with less costly oxides that exhibit similar properties. Phase equilibria relations in the CaO-Al2O3-Nb2O5 and SrO-Al2O3-Nb2O5 systems have been determined at 1350-1525 C in air. Phase assemblages were determined by X-ray powder diffraction methods at room temperature. The existence of the double perovskites, A2AlNbO6 (A=Ca, Sr), were confirmed in both ternary systems. In the SrO-Al2O3-Nb2O5 system, a previously unreported ternary phase was found to occur between Sr2AlNbO6 and SrO. A series of cryolite-type solid solutions, Sr3(Sr1-xNb2-x)O9-3/2x (0
