Abstract
Abstract A group of dielectric compounds and mixtures of dielectric compounds with useful properties at microwave frequencies is disclosed. The dielectric materials are temperature compensated, have relatively high dielectric constants, and comprise the group of BaTi4O9, and mixtures of Li2TiO3 and Li4Ti5O12, MgTi2O5 and TiO2, Zn2TiO4 and TiO2, and BaTi4O9 and TiO2.

A method of forming a dielectric from titanium dioxide comprising the steps of: mixing stoichiometric quantities of TiO 2 and a carbonate drawn from the class of carbonates consisting of BaCO 3 , Li 2 CO 3 , MgCO 3 and ZnCO 3 to provide a mixture thereof; milling said mixture in a ball mill containing a liquid medium to produce a liquid slurry; drying said liquid slurry to produce a dried mixture; granulating said dried mixture; calcining said granulated mixture at a temperature within the temperature range of 800° C. to 1300° C. to provide a chemical reaction between said stoichiometric quantities of TiO 2 and of the carbonate of said class of carbonates wherein there is formed a product drawn from the class of substances consisting of BaTi 4 O 9 , a mixture of Li 2 TiO 3 and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , MgTi 2 O 5 --TiO 2 and Zn 2 TiO 4 --TiO 2 ; ball milling said product to produce a powder thereof; compressing said powdered product in a mold with pressure in the range of 1500 to 10,000 pounds per square inch to increase the density and dielectric constant of said powder; and firing said compressed powder in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature in the temperature range of 1100° C. to 1450° C. until the density of said compressed powder has exceeded approximately 85% of the theoretical maximum density, thereby stabilizing the dielectric constant of said compressed powder with respect to variations in the temperature of said compressed powder.
