Abstract

The dielectric properties and the nonlinear current density–electric field (J–E) relationship of CaCu3Ti4.2−xSnxO12 (x = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10) ceramics at various sintering temperatures are presented. Excellent dielectric properties with a very low tanδ ∼ 0.008–0.020, a giant ε′ ∼ 6495–16,975, and stability of Δε′ of < ± 15% over the temperature range of −60 to 210°C are obtained in a CaCu3Ti4.15Sn0.05O12 ceramic sintered at 1080°C and CaCu3Ti4.10Sn0.10O12 ceramics sintered at both 1080°C and 1100°C. Additionally, all ceramics exhibited a nonlinear J–E relationship. A maximal nonlinear coefficient (α) of ∼ 1044.4 is obtained in the CaCu3Ti4.15Sn0.05O12 sintered at 1080°C. X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy techniques were used for structural and microstructural evaluation of all ceramics. Elemental map** with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the presence of Sn4+ dopant at the main CaCu3Ti4O12 site and in minor TiO2 phases of all Sn4+ doped CaCu3Ti4.2O12 ceramics. This mixed phase plays an important role to increase grain boundary resistance (Rgb) and significantly improves the thermal stability of dielectric properties, as well as the nonlinear J-E relationship.
