Abstract
In this paper, the negative permittivity of perovskite-type La0.7Ca0.2Sr0.1CrO3 ceramics (LCSCOs) was reported for the first time. The effects of sintering temperature on their conductivity, permittivity, and electromagnetic shielding performance were explored. As the sintering temperature increased, the density of the LCSCOs increased. This enlarged the contact area between the grains and optimized the conductive pathways, consequently improving the electrical conductivity. Due to a certain number of free carriers in the LCSCOs, their collective oscillations resulted in negative permittivity. The elevated sintering temperature promoted the solid solubility of dopant atoms in ceramics, which ultimately resulted in an increase in the absolute values of negative permittivity. The Drude model could explain the negative permittivity. As the sintering temperature increased, the electromagnetic shielding performance of the ceramics improved due to the synergistic effect of increased density and conductivity.
