Abstract

Bulk single-phase gamma- Y2 Si2 O7 ceramic has been synthesized from a mixture of Y2O3 powder and SiO2 nanopowder at 1400 °C. The dielectric properties are reported at the temperature ranging from room temperature to 1400 °C in X -band. The results show that gamma- Y2Si2O7 exhibits low dielectric loss and non-Debye relaxation behavior different from that of SiO2. The peculiar relaxation peak is attributed to the structural relaxation polarization caused by thermal-excitation structural defects, which implies that no ionic conductance exists in this material. Such low dielectric loss will draw much attention for potential dielectric applications at high temperature.
