Effect of Mn2⁺ substitution on the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of Li2Mg1-xMnxSiO4 ceramics
摘要
The effects of Mn2⁺ substitution on the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of Li2MgSiO4 ceramics were systematically investigated. Li2Mg1-xMnxSiO₄ ceramics (x = 0–0.10) were prepared by a modified solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction combined with Rietveld refinement confirms that all samples retain a monoclinic Li2MgSiO4 structure (space group P2₁/c) without detectable secondary phases within the investigated composition range, indicating that Mn2⁺ successfully substitutes for Mg2⁺ in the lattice. Mn2⁺ substitution effectively reduces the optimum sintering temperature and promotes densification. The composition with x = 0.04 sintered at 1100 °C for 1 h exhibits the highest relative density (96.42%) and the best microwave dielectric properties, with
