High permittivity, low dielectric loss, and high electrostatic potential barrier in Ca2Cu2Ti4O12 ceramics
摘要
Dielectric and nonlinear current-voltage properties of Ca2Cu2Ti4O12 (CaCu3Ti4O12/CaTiO3 composite) ceramics prepared by a simple thermal decomposition method were investigated. The results revealed that ceramics sintered at 1100 掳C for 12 h exhibited a high dielectric constant (蔚鈥?#xA0;~ 4.05 脳 103) with temperature coefficient less than 卤 15%in the temperature range of 鈭?#xA0;55-85 掳C, low loss tangent (tan未 ~ 0.046) at 30 掳C and 1 kHz, and high electronic potential barrier height (桅B = 0.856 eV). These are desirable for applications based on the capacitive component. 蔚鈥?and 桅B increased significantly with increasing sintering time. tan未 was nearly constant. It suggests that a high value of 桅B is caused by the effect of CCTO-CTO interface.
