Abstract

The study being presented displays how experimental processes were utilized to identify the characteristics of the sample: (Ca,Sr)3Ti2O7. The sample that was synthesized is a bulk crystal which has its own capacitance. The experiments conducted during this sample synthesis were done to measure the electric property of capacitance—a material’s ability to store electric charge—based on two different variables: voltage and frequency. The data gathered was organized into a set of two graphs: Capacitance vs. Voltage and Capacitance vs. Frequency. The purpose of the experiment is to examine the capacitance while controlling it by varying the range of the voltage and frequency being provided to the sample.
