 Ceramic capacitors are important energy storage components for microelectronic and power electronic systems. Dielectric materials with high dielectric constant, low loss and high breakdown voltage are urgently needed for high energy density capacitors for system minimization and integration. To build giant dipoles by co-doping was a proved strategy for developing ceramic materials with colossal dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. However, it is still frustrating in fabricating colossal dielectric constant materials with low loss through co-doping method because the dielectric performance of a material is always the overlap of several polarization mechanisms. There also has no clear model about how the giant dipoles created from co-doping exist in the materials and what’s their fingerprint under the outside field. This proposal will focus on the colossal dielectric constant materials based on co-doping strategy and try to clarify the above concerns...Since perovskite type compounds containing [TiO6] units can provide much larger space than the rutile TiO2 for doping and for dielectric properties tailoring, perovskite type ATiO3 with different A site elements will be used as the base materials for colossal dielectric constant materials fabrication. The co-doped ATiO3 ceramics will be prepared by conventional solid state reaction and then by high temperature sintering. The trend of dielectric properties variation with co-doping elements and A site elements will be investigated, and some clues on how to build the giant dipoles in materials is expected to be found out. Ultra-wide band dielectric spectra with frequency up to GHz or higher will be measured in a wide temperature range. These wideband experimental data will be analyzed based on Debye equation, Koop’s equivalent circuit model and universal dielectric theory to find out the direct proof of giant dipoles in materials and to clarify the dielectric characteristics of the giant dipole polarization. ..Considering the very low breakdown strength of the reported colossal dielectric constant ceramics, efforts will also be taken to improve the breakdown strength of the colossal dielectric constant materials by crystal lattice tailoring and grain boundary modification. High performance dielectric ceramics with colossal dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, high breakdown strength, wide temperature and frequency stability will be obtained, which will be the strong base for developing high energy density ceramic capacitors.
