Summary:In this work, CaCu sub(x) Ti sub(y) O sub(12) ceramics (2.7 [< or =] x [< or =] 3.3 and 3.25 [< or =] y [< or =] 4.75), related to excess and deficiency of CuO-TiO sub(2) eutectic phase have been synthesized by coprecipitation method. The crystalline phases in the ceramics were identified by X-ray diffraction patterns, and the pellets have mainly presented CCTO and also exhibited CuO, TiO sub(2) and CaTiO sub(3) as secondary phases. The thermal conductivity of the ceramics was determined using the laser flash method in the temperature range of 300-1000 K. It was observed a decrement in thermal conductivity values as the amount of the eutectic phase decreased. The electrical DC conductivity has been measured by the two-probe method from 300-1000 K and it has been noted that both grain size and amount of eutectic phase influenced the electrical conductivity results.
