Abstract

We prepared La doped of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics by a solid-state sintering process and observed nonlinear electrical varistor and high dielectric behaviors. Phase composition analyses show that the La can substitute on the Ca sites completely, and have no influence on the phase composition. The impedance spectroscopy at room temperature indicates that the La doping can maintain the dielectric permittivity of CaCu3Ti4O12 (∼104). The relationships between electrical current density versus applied electrical field show that these ceramic samples exhibit nonlinear varistor characteristics, which should be ascribed to the existing potential barrier height at the grain boundary.
