Temperature dependent total scattering structural study of CaCu3Ti4O12
نویسندگان
چکیده
X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data as a function of temperature are analysed for the colossal dielectric constant material CaCu3Ti4O12. The local structure is studied using atomic pair distribution function analysis. No evidence is found for enlarged oxygen or Ti displacement parameters suggesting that short range octahedral tilt disorder and off-centre Ti displacements are minimal. However, an unusual temperature dependence for the atomic displacement parameters of calcium and copper is observed. Temperature dependent modelling of the structure, using bond valence concepts, suggests that the calcium atoms become underbonded below approximately 260 K, which provides a rationale for the unusually high Ca displacement parameters at low temperature.

Influence of processing conditions on dielectric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 thin films
CaCu3Ti4O12 possesses one of the largest values of the effective dielectric permittivity in a large frequency and temperature range ever reported for a ceramic material, and is thus a very promising material for various electronic and electromechanical applications. The origin of such high permittivity has been attributed to ‘electrical’ heterogeneities in the microstructure [1-3]. By Chemical ...
