In addition, CCTO shows moderate dielectric loss (tan δ ~ 0.15) at a broad frequency region (up to 106 Hz), high positive temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f ~ +9.13 ppm K−1), and phase transition stability against temperatures of a wide range (100 400 K).
At a conference held to discuss arts policy in Beijing, leftists argued that it should be abolished; moderates, among them Mr. Tan and He Luting, later the director of the Shanghai Conservatory, argued for its preservation.
