Abstract

The main object of this work is to study two materials with giant dielectric constants: CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) and Ca0.7Bi0.3Ti0.7Cr0.3O3 (CBTC). CBTC1-x-CCTOx composites were also obtained to create a new dielectric material with dielectric properties between these two phases. Structural properties were studied by x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy and dielectric measurements. CCTO showed a cubic phase and CBTC an orthorhombic phase. An interesting result was that the dielectric constant (K) did not follow the rule of the mixture of Lichtnecker, and this happened due to the presence of other phases of its crystalline structure, which decreases the value of K when compared to the predicted values of Lichtnecker. It was also found that the dielectric properties of the composite are very promising for use in microelectronics, according to the miniaturization factor, which is crucial for those applications.
