Abstract

Cr2O3-doped (Ba0.55Sr0.4Ca0.05)TiO3 ceramics were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method. Their dielectric properties were investigated with the variation of Cr3+ doping concentrations (0∼2.0mol%). All the BSCT specimens owned dense and homogeneous structure. Doping of Cr3+ could reduce the Curie temperature and their dielectric constant peak values, and improve the thermal stabilities of their dielectric properties. Both the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the BSCT ceramics were reduced by doping Cr ions when the dopant concentration was lower than 1.5mol%. 1.0mol% Cr-doped BSCT specimens are expected to be the candidate materials for microwave tunable devices, whose tunability, dielectric constant and loss were 16.1%, 2700 and 0.24% respectively.
