Abstract

The constant-stress "free" dielectric constants and dissipation factors of BaO and a series of X_2YZ_2O_7 melilites were measured at 1 MHz using a two-terminal method and empirically determined edge corrections. The results are: BaO K = 31.1 Ca_2MgSi_2O_7 K^T_a = 11.83 K^T_c = 7.97 Ca_2CoSi_2O_7 K^T_a = 12.44 K^T_c = 9.00 Ca_2ZnSi_2O_7 K^T_a = 12.03 K^T_c = 8.21 Sr_2CoSi_2O_7 K^T_a = 8.93 K^T_c = 6.87 Ba_2MgGe_2O_7:Nd,Ce = K^T_a = K^T_c= 7.51. The discrepancies between measured dielectric polarizabilities as determined from the Clausius-Mosotti equation and those calculated from the sum of oxide polarizabilities according to ɑ_D(X_2YZ_2O_7) = 2 ɑ_D(XO) + ɑ_D(YO) + 2 α_D(Z0_2) are + 13.6 to + 16.0% for Ca-containing melilites, + 6.1% for Sr_2CoSi_2O_7 and + 1.0% for Ba_(1.92)Nd_(0.04)Ce_(0.04)MgGe_2O_7. The deviations from additivity in the Ca- and Sr-melilites are believed to result from structural misfit between the alkaline earth X ion and the YZ_2O_7 layers which leads to rattling X ions.
