Abstract

Composites between ferroelectric material and a dispersed metal phase are of great interest due to the improvement in dielectric properties for such applications as high capacitance capacitors, non-volatile memory, ect. Using a colloidal method, Pt particles with a size of 3–5 nm were dispersed homogeneously in a PZT (PbZr0.53Ti0.43O3) matrix. No unwanted reaction phase between PZT and Pt during sintering at 1150 °C could be detected by X-ray diffraction. Electrical properties were investigated by impedance spectroscopy measurement. The effective dielectric constant increased remarkably as a power function of Pt volume content and can be described by the percolation theory. At 25 vol.% of Pt the dielectric constant of the composite is 4 times larger than that of pure PZT. The temperature dependence of the electrical properties is also influenced by the metallic phase fraction.
