A(B′1/3B″2/3)O3 COMPLEX PEROVSKITES

8.1 INTRODUCTION

The A(B′1/3B″2/3)O3 perovskites are the most widely studied family of materials in microwave ceramics. A broad range of chemical substitutions such as Ba, Sr, Ca, at A site; Mg, Zn, Ni, Co, Sr, Ca, Mn, Cd at B′ site and Nb and Ta at B″ site are possible and the substitutions enable the tailoring of the dielectric properties. Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 (BMT), Ba(Zn1/3Ta2/3)O3 (BZT) and Ba[(Zn,Co)1/3Nb2/3]O3 (BZCN) are the most widely studied materials in this family and are commercially produced for applications in wireless communication. A large number of compounds with niobium or tantalum as the B″ ions in the A(B′1/3B″2/3)O3 complex perovskite were reported by Roy [1] and Galasso and ...
