Abstract

In this paper, the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of translucent polycrystalline alumina (PCA) with various addition amounts of MgO were investigated. Translucent PCA was obtained by adding ∼500-2000 ppm MgO. Compared with the undoped PCA, the translucent PCA doped with 500 ppm MgO showed a higher density and a much higher Q×f value. As the MgO content further increased, the dielectric constants (εr) of the translucent PCA samples showed no significant change, while the Q×f values decreased rapidly. The increased amount of impurities (MgO or spinel) was believed to be the main reason for the lower Q×f values.
