Three-terminal dielectric measurements of the weak-field permittivity have been carried out on single crystals of bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12), which contained only ``narrow-angle'' twin walls. The pseudo-orthorhombic εa, εb, εc in these twinned monoclinic crystals show strong dispersion in the frequency range 100 Hz-1 mHz, and only above 1 mHz are the data representative of the intrinsic properties. The dispersion is thought to arise from space charge developed through the high conduction current at elevated temperatures and not from domain wall motion or damped piezoelectric resonance.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
