Calcium copper titanate (also abbreviated CCTO, for calcium copper titanium oxide) is an inorganic compound with the formula CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂. It is noteworthy for its extremely large effective relative permittivity of approximately 12,000 at room temperature,^[1] although this value varies widely as a function of particle size.^[2][3] While its intrinsic relative permittivity is about 100, how its large effective permittivity is generated is a matter of debate.^[4]
