| Abstract Scope |
NASA is investigating the radiation resilience of copper titanate (CaCu3Ti4O12 or CCTO) perovskites for various space applications, including dielectric energy storage and solar cell applications. CCTO offers high dielectric constant with moderate radiation resilience along with ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. However, CCTO has low resistivity and is susceptible to high energy radiation. We are exploring CCTO by replacing the Ca+2 ion with high density and high atomic number materials such as Gallium, Thallium etc. to increase its radiation resilience. NASA’s OLTARIS (Optimized Lattice Thermal Radiation Interaction and Surface) computational code is designed for simulating the interaction between energetic particles or photons with materials, which makes it suitable for evaluating the effects of ionizing radiation on perovskite structures. The goal is to identify optimal refinements that enhance radiation resistance while maintaining or improving other desired properties. In this paper, the results of OLTARIS-based modeling of CCTO and its refinements are discussed. |
