Abstract: CaCu3Ti4O12 and La2/3Cu3Ti4O12 materials were prepared by solid reaction process, and the conductance properties were measured and studied. The experimental data show that the conductancetemperature curves of CaCu3Ti4O12 and La2/3Cu3Ti4O12 are similar. In the lower temperature range (<150 K), the conductance increases with the temperature and the samples exhibit negative resistancetemperature properties. In the temperature range of 150-170 K, the conductance reaches its maximum. Then, in the higher temperature range (170-250 K), the conductance decreases with the temperature. But the maximum value of conductance of CaCu3Ti4O12 is about 3 times larger than that of La2/3Cu3Ti4O12. Further analysis shows that after Ca 2+ is replaced by La 3+, onethird of vacancies remain in A sites, which results in the activation energy of La2/3Cu3Ti4O12 reaching 1.01 eV. The higher activation energy is the main cause of lower conductance of La2/3Cu3Ti4O12.
