Modulation of the Dielectric Properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 System with Gd-Substitution

Article Preview

Abstract:

To specify the effects of modulating mechanism of Gd substitution on the dielectric properties for Ca1-xGdxCu3Ti4O12 system, the XRD, SEM and positron positron annihilation technique have been implemented. The results display that both grain size and vacancy-type defect concentration play important roles in controlling the dielectric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12. The dielectric properties are improved by adding an appropriate amount of Gd additives (x=0.01) but weakened by higher Gd doping content since this is closely related to the grain size and concentration of vacancy-type defect in the samples.
