We describe a material, cubic CaCu3Ti4O12, which exhibits a large dielectric response, the temperature-dependence of which has not been seen, to our knowledge, in any existing material. This compound possesses a low-frequency dielectric constant, epsilon similar to 10(4) [1], which is only weakly varying in the temperature range 100-400 K. Below T similar to 100 K, however, there is an abrupt 100-fold reduction in the value of epsilon. X-ray diffraction and thermodynamic data argue against an explanation in terms of ferroelectricity, i.e. the collective ordering of local dipole moments. Both the low-frequency dielectric response as well as Raman scattering data suggest the existence of highly polarizable relaxational modes with a characteristic gap energy of 28 meV.
