Abstract
K2Nb8O21 microwires with diameters of several hundred nanometers and lengths up to tens of microns were prepared by molten salt synthesis, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The as-synthesized microwires have semiconductor characteristics with band gap Eg of about 3.1 eV, consistent with electrical transport measurement of single microwire, which gives a resistivity of about 0.46 Ω m at room temperature. Microwave dielectric property measurement at 2-18 GHz shows that K2Nb8O21 microwires have a relative low complex permittivity. A weak dielectric relaxation occurs in the 12-16 GHz band due to the free charges polarization on the interfaces between K2Nb8O21 microwires and the PVB matrix.
