Abstract
The preparation of Calcium copper titanate (CCTO) nanopowder was carried out by a sol–gel self combustion method. The X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the samples calcined at 800 °C were fully crystallized in the CCTO phase. The results of atomic force microscope showed the particles size of CCTO was in the range of 60–80 nm. The absorption bands corresponding to vibrations of Cu–O, Ti–O–Ti and νCa–O were observed at 512, 450 and 562 cm−1 using FTIR. The samples sintered at 950 °C showed the densities as high as 97% of theoretical density. The grain sizes of sintered pellets were determined by HRSEM. The dielectric properties of prepared samples were studied by LCR meter.
