Abstract
The monoclinic MnMo1-xWxO4 (x = 0.02–0.08) ceramics of C2/m(12) space group were prepared by solid-state reaction at 725–900 °C. Rietveld refinement results indicate that a small amount of MnWO4 secondary phase exists when the sintering temperature is below 850 °C, and the substitution of W6+ can enhance the Q × f value. At 850 °C, pure MnMo0.92W0.08O4 achieves a relative density of 95.9 % and exhibits optimal properties: εr = 7.39 ± 0.06, Q × f = 76,554 ± 1846 GHz, and τf = −67.3 ± 1.06 ppm/°C. The grain size increased with increasing sintering temperature. The ionic polarizability and relative density primarily determine εr. Q × f is predominantly influenced by relative density, with minimal contribution from packing fraction. τf is closely related to bond valence. Phillips-Van Vechten-Levine theory indicated that Mo-O bond parameters, including bond ionicity, lattice energy, and linear thermal expansion coefficient, affected the microwave dielectric properties. Most of the peaks observed in Raman spectroscopy are related to the vibrations of the [MoO4] tetrahedra.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
