Intrinsic Enhancement of Dielectric Permittivity in (Nb + In) co-doped TiO2 single crystals

Abstract The development of dielectric materials with colossal permittivity is important for the miniaturization of electronic devices and fabrication of high-density energy-storage devices. The electron-pinned defect-dipoles has been recently proposed to boost the permittivity of (Nb + In) co-doped...
