Abstract

Perovskite calcium copper titanate posses giant dielectric constant making it a suitable candidate for possible applications in microelectronic components, advanced transistors, energy storage capacitors. Generally, this grade of material is synthesized by the chemical route to improving homogeneity, controlled size growth for enhanced properties. In the present research, a simple synthesis process was adopted using precursors of high purity oxides like Calcium carbonate, titania, Copper oxide without any use of complicated synthesis routes and costly chemical precursors. The molar ratio of oxides used was about 1:3:4 with mechano-chemical activation in an agate mortar for 20, 25 and 30 hours respectively in dry condition. After milling, powders obtained were made to undergo annealing at a fixed temperature of 900°C for 26 hours soaking period. Phase analysis was carried to determine the phase along with crystallite size calculation. Bonding information of the synthesized sample was analyzed to obtain the M-O coordination and vibration-stretching analysis of the bonds. Morphological features were also noted using FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy) for understanding grains and granular boundaries. Both FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy) and XRD (X-Ray Diffractogram) analyses confirm the compound formation in terms of molecular structure responsible to obtain the proper phase.
