Compilation of the Static Dielectric Constant of Inorganic Solids

Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data · 1973 · 359 citations · 6 references

TL;DR

The paper compiles static dielectric constants for over 300 inorganic solids, providing a brief review of fundamental dielectric principles. The authors list measurement conditions—temperature, frequency, loss tangent, and where available pressure—and describe the techniques and selection criteria used. For 90 key materials, the paper presents temperature‑dependent dielectric constant graphs, covering most ferroelectrics, antiferroelectrics, oxides, and halides.

Abstract

This compilation contains values of the static dielectric constant of more than 300 inorganic solids. The temperature and frequency of the measurements are listed and the magnitude of the loss tangent is indicated if known. For ninety materials — including most ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics and several oxides and halides — additional information is presented in the form of graphs depicting the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant. In a few cases the frequency and pressure dependences are also shown. The basic principles and formulas pertinent to the field of dielectrics are reviewed in a short introduction. This part also mentions several measuring techniques and indicates the criteria used for data selection.
