Srn+1TinO3n+1 (n=1, 2) microwave dielectric ceramics with medium dielectric constant and ultra‐low dielectric loss

Sr_n+1Ti_nO_3n+1 (n=1, 2) ceramics with tetragonal Ruddlesden–Popper structure were prepared via a standard solid‐state reaction process, and their microstructures and microwave dielectric properties were investigated systematically. The phase composition, grain morphology, and densification behavior were explored using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Outstanding microwave dielectric properties were achieved in the present ceramics: ε_r=42, Q × f=145 200 GHz, τ_f=130 ppm/°C for Sr₂TiO₄, and ε_r=63, Q × f=84 000 GHz, τ_f=293 ppm/°C for Sr₃Ti₂O₇, respectively. The present ceramics might be expected as excellent candidates for next‐generation medium‐permittivity microwave dielectric ceramics after the further optimization of τ_f value.
