The effect of different dopant site (Cu and Ca) by magnesium on CaCu3Ti4O12 dielectric properties

CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) is known as a material that possesses high dielectric constant (εr ~ 104) and can be the best candidate to be used in electronic components that can be operated at low and high frequency. Unfortunately, high dielectric loss of CCTO can be the main obstacle for this material to be...
