U. S. Department of Commerce Research Paper RP2025 National Bureau of Standards Volume 43, September 1949 Part of the Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards Properties of Calcium-Barium Titanate Dielectrics By Elmer N. Bunting, George R. Shelton, and Ansel S. Creamer Dielectrics having co mpo itions in the system 3CaO:TiO,-BaTi03-TiO, were matured at 1,260° to 1,500° C. Data are given for the compositions, heat-treatments, absorption, shrinkage, and for K, the dielectric constant, and Q, t he reciprocal of the power factor, at 25° C for frequencies of 50, 1,000 and 20,000 kilocycles per second and for 3,000 megacycles per second when ]( is not greater than 50. Values of K were also determined at 1 megacycle per second for variou tem peratures from - 60° to +85 ° C. Lowest valu e. of Q (and highest of K ) were associated with specim ens of high bari a co ntent. Linear t hermal expan sion (25° to 700° C) ra nged from 0.65 to 0.87 percent. The pecimens of some compositions were unstable and cha nged in 1C and Q values with time. I. Introduction II. Preparation of Dielectrics and Methods of Test This paper is the third of a series dealing with ceramic dielectrics compo ed of titanium dioxide Dielectrics having the compositions shown in and the oxides of the alkaline earth elements. A figure 1 were prepared from reagent quality car study of these titanate systems previollsly re bonates of calci um and barium and the commercial ported [1, 2] 1 revealed di electrics of diverse grade of titania (grade TMO) used in the prepara properties that find application in the fi elds of tion of the other alkaline earth titanate dielec electronic instrumentation, particularly where the trics [1, 2]. A chemically pure grade of titania space factor is important, as in hearing aids and (99 .9%) was used in the preparation of a few speci other special circuits.

A rather limited amount of information has been published by others [3, 4] on the electrical prop erties of the calcium-barium titanates. However, it is desirable to investigate these materials for a wide range in composition so that a more complete knowledge of their properties will be available. Because the temperature coefficient of the dielec tric constant for calcium titanate was known to be negative, it was expected that many of the calcium-barium titanate dielectrics might have a negative coefficient. Also, the low electrical-loss C3 TL-~~ __~ __~~ __~ __~ ____~ __~ 70% coo BoO 70 % character of calcium titanate indicated that a 300;.
