The novel microwave dielectric ceramic EuNbO 4 with monoclinic structure (PDF # 22-1099) was synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction process. X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement were employed to investigate the phase compositions and crystal parameters. Combined with the refinement results, the structure-property relationship was analyzed using the chemical bonds theory of complex crystals. The surface microtopography was characterized using scanning electric microscope, and the dense and homogeneous microstructures could be observed at EuNbO 4 ceramic sintered at 1125 °C. Infrared reflectivity spectra indicated the absorption of structural phonon oscillation might be the main contribution to polarization for EuNbO4 ceramic. The optimal dielectric properties with ε r = 19.1, Q × f = 15,014 GHz, and τ f = −16.42 ppm/°C were achieved in EuNbO 4 ceramic sintered at 1125 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
