Abstract

This article reports on microstructure and dielectric properties of Ba0.5Sr0.5Ti1−3y/2WyO3 ceramics. Dielectric peaks of the Ba0.5Sr0.5Ti1−3y/2WyO3 ceramics were markedly suppressed, broadened, and shifted to low temperature with increasing content of W. The limit of W incorporating into the barium strontium titanate (BST) lattice was y = 0.02. Two second phases (BaWO4 and Ba2Ti5O12) were formed above the solid solution limit of W in BST. The doping mechanism represents a new approach to develop microwave tunable materials. Dielectric properties of the Ba0.5Sr0.5Ti1−3y/2WyO3 ceramics could be optimized by the content of W. The sample with y = 0.05 had ε′ of 431, quality factor of 365 (at 2.111 GHz), and tunability of 11.5%, which makes a potential candidate for tunable microwave device applications in the wireless communication.
