Ceramic solid solutions of (1-x)SrTiO3-(x)BiScO3 system with x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 have been for the first time synthesized via solid-state processing techniques. Both of end compounds in this system are not ferroelectric materials. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that at room temperature the samples under study at x=0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 consist of mixture of center-symmetric cubic Pm3m phase and polar tetragonal P4mm phase. Anomalous behaviour of dielectric permittivity and dielectric losses for these samples is found to be specific one for ferroelectrics with diffuse phase transitions. Furthermore, examination of the polarization hysteresis behavior revealed weakly nonlinear hysteresis loops in the ferroelectric phase.
