The dielectric spectra of CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ is characterized by a large permittivity (εᵣ>10 000) with only a weak dependence on temperature over the temperature range 200–400 K. In this work, doping with 0.1–1.0 wt % ZrO₂ has been shown to dramatically reduce the dielectric loss. At 0.5 wt % ZrO₂, tan...
The crystal structure and multiferroic properties of single-phase (Bi₀.₉La₀.₁)FeO₃–Ba(Fe₀.₅Nb₀.₅)O₃ ceramics were investigated. The rhombohedral-type structure of 1.0(Bi₀.₉La₀.₁)FeO₃) was transformed to a monoclinic-type structure for the 0.5(Bi₀.₉La₀.₁)FeO₃–0.5Ba(Fe₀.₅Nb₀.₅)O₃) composition. It shows the coexistence of ferroelectricity and magnetism at room temperature, represented by a high dielectric constant with ferroelectric hysteresis and clear magnetic...
