Abstract

An inexpensive capacitor for pulse generation whose characteristics do not deteriorate even when the capacitor is used in a high temperature, high vacuum, reducing atmosphere, and which enables generation of high-voltage pulses over a wide temperature range. The dielectric body of the capacitor is constructed of a non-linear dielectric ceramic which exhibits resistance to reduction. The non-linear dielectric ceramic comprises a polycrystalline substance containing barium titanate as a primary component, and when the polycrystalline substance is represented by (1&minus;a&minus;b)ABO &plus;aM&plus;bR wherein ABO is a barium titanate component and represents a perovskite structure, M is an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Ni and Co, R is an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Yb, and a and b represent mole fractions; A, B, a, and b satisfy the following relationships: 1.000&lE;A/B&lE;1.006 (mole ratio), 0.3&lE;b/a&lE;3, 0.0015&lE;a&lE;0.0050, and 0.0015&lE;b&lE;0.0050, and a total content of M and R represented by Ad satisfies 0.3<Ad&lE;1.0 (wt. %).
