Abstract
Dense microwave dielectric ceramics of Ce2[Zr1-x(Al1/2Ta1/2)x]3(MoO4)9 (CZMAT) (x = 0.02-0.10) were prepared by the conventional solid-state route. The effects of (Al1/2Ta1/2)4+ on their microstructures, sintering behaviors, and microwave dielectric properties were systematically investigated. On the basis of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, all the samples were matched well with Pr2Zr3(MoO4)9 structures, which belonged to the space group
