Abstract
Li(1+x)AlSiO4 ceramics were synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that they crystallized in single-phase hexagonal structure. Li loss was studied using the thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). Appropriate excess Li resulted in sintering temperature reduction from 1325 ℃ to 1225 ℃. The ultra-low dielectric constant (εr) was influenced by the polarizability per unit volume. Theoretical calculations manifested that enhancing the packing fraction suppressed lattice vibrations, resulting in a significant increase in the quality factor (Q×f). Compared with the pure phase samples, adding Li ions optimized the thermal stability of the ceramics. Specifically, Li1.02AlSiO4 demonstrated optimal microwave dielectric properties with εr=4.13, Q×f=45,387 GHz and τf=-35.54 ppm/°C, making it a spacious application prospect in the field of 6 G communication.
