(1-x)BaTiO 3-xCaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 ceramic powders (where x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 1) were synthesized by solid state reaction method and sintered at up to 1250°C. Phase formation, elemental composition and microstructure of all the samples were investigated by XRD, EDX and FESEM, respectively. The BT-CCTO ceramic samples corresponding to x = 0.04 content showed the best dielectric properties. The improvement of dielectric properties was attributed to the presence of oxygen vacancies. Ferroelectricity was retained for CCTO content up to x = 0.06.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
