Low‐loss ilmenite magnesium titanate was synthesized from TiO2 and MgO powders prepared separately from chemical solutions. Both of these starting materials were very fine and had a high specific area. MgTiO3 ceramic had a high quality factor (Q×f) of ∼186 000 GHz when reactive sintering (calcination free) was adopted at 1400°C for 4 h. Moreover, a very high Q×f value of 368 000 GHz (at 10 GHz) was observed when classical solid‐state sintering, in which the sintering temperature was as low as 1300°C for 4 h, was applied. The possible mechanism that caused the variation in Q×f values for samples prepared by different sintering processes and initial powders were presented. The proposed low‐loss MgTiO3 is very promising for microwave or millimeter‐wave applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
