We investigated the structure and
antireduction of Ti
4+
in orthorhombic perovskite Ca
0.61
Nd
0.26
TiO
3
(CNT) ceramic by doping
with three different additives (Cr
2
O
3
, MnO
2
, and SnO
2
). The
X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the main phase of orthorhombic
perovskite was formed in all the samples. In addition, the substitution
of M (M = Cr
3+
, Mn
4+
, Sn
4+
) for Ti
4+
resulted in the oxygen octahedral distortion and changes
of order degree of B-site, which was confirmed by Raman spectra. The
ε
r
and τ
f
values were concerned
with the average ionicity of B–O bond
f
i
(B-ave) and the linear expansion coefficient α, respectively.
The X-ray photoelectron spectra indicated that three different additives
could restrain the reduction of Ti
4+
, which was beneficial
to the improvement of the
Q

f
value for CNT ceramic. High
Q
×
f
value of 16 123 GHz was obtained in the CNT + 1 mol % Cr

ceramic compared with
Q

f
value of 11 207 GHz in pure CNT ceramic.
