Abstract

Abstract The microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of (1–y)Ba(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3–yBa(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (y=0–0.05) ceramics prepared by traditional solid state method were investigated by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, electric parameter testing system and ferroelectric tester. It is found that the barium zirconate titanate based ceramics are single-phase perovskites as y increases up to 0.05 and their average grain size decreases with the increase of y. The permittivity maximum er,max is suppressed from 8948 to 1611 at 1 kHz with increasing y, and the ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition temperature Tm decreases from 93 to –89 °C at 1 kHz as y increases. The composition-induced diffuse phase transition is enhanced with increasing y. The relaxor-like ferroelectric behavior with a strong frequency dispersion of Tm and permittivity at T
