Article Preview

Abstract:

The BaTi0.88Zr0.12O3 ceramic has been synthesized by using a conventional solid-state reaction method and sintered at 1450 °C in air for 3 hours. The structural and dielectric properties of the sample were investigated. It was found that the sample exhibited tetragonal structure with space group P4mm. The maximum dielectric constant, εr value was obtained at Tc (70 °C) about 2800 measured at 1 kHz. The dielectric peak was broad which might be due to the pinching effect. However, maximum εr value was quite low may be attributed by the Tc and other phase transition point might be not fully coalescence. Another phase transition temperature was vaguely observed around 30 °C to 40 °C. The dielectric properties of the sample were dominated by the grain effect with capacitance values lie within range of 10-10 to 10-9. The SEM images shows that the average grain size of the sample was quite small about 2.9087 μm. It might be due to the contribution of Zr4+ with lower grain growth rate.
