Abstract: We show that powders of bismuth titanate, copper oxide, and titanium oxide can be transformed into a single Bi2/3Cu3Ti4O12 phase and subsequently flash sintered at furnace temperatures of 855-910?°C in a single running experiment, with an electric field ranging from 5 to 15?V cm-1 and a current limit of 53?mA mm-2. The (di)electrical properties of the flashed materials were assessed by impedance spectroscopy. These ceramics show a giant dielectric constant (e' > 104), and an increasing resistivity with raising the field used in the flash, reaching a value as high as 6.7?MO?cm for 15?V cm-1. Thus, the one-step experiment process described here greatly simplifies the fabrication of high-density single-phase ceramics of this material while at the same time improving its properties for low leakage high dielectric applications.
