Abstract
V cation was introduced at Nb-site in CoTiNb2O8 for the purpose of tuning the defects concentration. XRD analysis indicated that no secondary phase developed over the whole composition range. The sintering temperature decreased to 1150 °C in current work, compared with pure CoTiNb2O8 ceramic (∼1250 °C). V-introduction inhibited grain growth and benefited grain homogenization. The decreased molecular dielectric polarizability and blue shift of Raman A1g mode both made lower εr from 59.2 to 41.8. Based on the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), V doping decreased the oxygen vacancy concentration and tuned the Co valence state. The defects compensation by oxygen and Co vacancies significantly improved Q × f up to 38,012 GHz, accompanied with a 50 % rise. The slight increase in τf was attributed to the Nb–O bond energy reduction. The CoTi(Nb0.97V0.03)2O8 had a high εr of 54.6 with good Q × f of about 38,012 GHz and τf = 96.47 ppm/°C. Enhanced Q × f and low sintering temperature were achieved simultaneously.
