Abstract
This study presents the synthesis of a novel NaFe(MoO4)2 (NFM) ceramic exhibiting a low permittivity achieved via conventional solid-state methods. XRD and Rietveld refinement analyses confirmed that the NFM ceramic possesses a monoclinic structure with space group C2/c (No. 15). The electrical properties of the NFM ceramic were investigated using complex impedance spectroscopy. Additionally, potential ion migration pathways were evaluated using the bond-valence method. The NFM ceramic demonstrated high density and optimal grain distribution at 575 °C, along with favorable dielectric properties: εr= 9.31, Q×f = 23,561 GHz, and τf= −88.31 ppm/°C. The correlation between the structure and performance of the NFM ceramic was explored by means of GULP, P-V-L theory, Raman spectroscopy, and far-IR reflection spectroscopy. Ultimately, a patch antenna suitable for operation in the Sub-6 GHz 5 G band was fabricated, highlighting the potential applications of NFM ceramics.
