Abstract
The sillimanite (Al₂SiO₅) mineral has been sintered by conventional ceramic route and by cold sintering methods. The mineral has very poor sinterability and transformed to mullite on sintering above 1525 °C. The dielectric properties of sillimanite mineral (Al₂SiO₅) are investigated at radio and microwave frequency ranges. The mineral sintered at 1525 °C has low εᵣ of 4.71 and tanδ of 0.002 at 1 MHz and at microwave frequency εᵣ = 4.43, Qᵤ × f = 41,800 GHz with τf = −17 ppm/°C. The sintering aid used for cold sintering Al₂SiO₅ is sodium chloride (NaCl). The Al₂SiO₅—NaCl composite was cold sintered at 120 °C. XRD analysis of the composite revealed that there is no additional phase apart from Al₂SiO₅ and NaCl. The densification of the Al₂SiO₅—NaCl composite was confirmed by using microstructure analysis. The Al₂SiO₅—NaCl composite has εᵣ of 5.37 and tanδ of 0.005 at 1 MHz whereas at microwave frequency it has εᵣ = 4.52, Qu × f = 22,350 GHz with τf = −24 ppm/°C. The cold sintered NaCl has εᵣ = 5.2, Qu × f = 12,000 GHz with τf = −36 ppm/°C.
