Abstract

Abstract The influence of SiO2 on the dielectric properties of barium titanate ceramics was investigated. SiO2 had been doped solely and together with BaO into barium titanate before calcination. X-ray diffraction showed that all the ceramics were of a pure perovskite phase after sintering at 1275 °C for 2 h. For SiO2-doping, there was about 2.5 °C increase in Curie temperature per molar percentage of doping and the leakage current was obviously increased, especially at low voltages for relatively high doping levels. While for the co-doping of SiO2 and BaO, there was little change in Curie temperature. The point defects formed through the dopings were proposed responsible for the effects. It was suggested that SiO2 is important to barium titanate ceramics not only for sintering but also for modifying their properties.
