Abstract
The diopside-structured CaZnGe2O6 ceramics were synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method in this study, and their crystal structure, microstructural evolution, and microwave dielectric properties were systematically investigated. The XRD and Rietveld refinement analyses confirmed that CaZnGe2O6 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with a C2/c space group. The intrinsic microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were evaluated using far-infrared spectroscopy. The ceramic structure exhibits high density and microstructural homogeneity after sintering at 1130 °C, resulting in exceptional microwave dielectric properties achieved at this optimal temperature (εr =8.78 Q×f = 63,782 GHz, τf = -66.4 ppm/°C). These findings highlight the potential application of CaZnGe2O6 ceramics as low-permittivity materials suitable for microwave devices.
期刊介绍:
The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, an independent journal with a global perspective and strong clinical focus, features original clinical research, expert reviews, news, and opinion pieces in each monthly issue. Covering topics like diabetes, obesity, nutrition, and more, the journal provides insights into clinical advances and practice-changing research worldwide. It welcomes original research advocating change or shedding light on clinical practice, as well as informative reviews on related topics, especially those with global health importance and relevance to low-income and middle-income countries. The journal publishes various content types, including Articles, Reviews, Comments, Correspondence, Health Policy, and Personal Views, along with Series and Commissions aiming to drive positive change in clinical practice and health policy in diabetes and endocrinology.
