Abstract
The dielectric constants of rare-earth oxides (RE2 O3 ) and rare-earth nitrides, phosphides, arsenides, and antimonides (REX, RE = rare-earth element, X = N, P, As, Sb) are quantitatively estimated. The estimation is based on the approximately linear relationship between the dielectric constant and the atomic number of the constituent atoms. Similar correlations are valid in nearly all series of related compounds; thus the approach presented here can be used as an effective tool in the search for materials with specific properties, e.g. high dielectric constants.Keywords
