Abstract
Ceramics were prepared from hydrothermally-synthesized BaTiO3 (100 mol%), BaSiO3 (1.5 mol%), MnO (0.1 mol%) with Ho2O3 (0.5 mol%) and MgO (0.25–1 mol%). The compositions with Ho/Mg molar ratios of 4:4, 4:2, 4:1 were selected for examination. The ceramic samples were sintered at 1340°C (PO2<10-9 Pa) and, then, annealed at 1000°C (PO2<30 Pa). The distribution of Ho and Mg in the samples was examined by transmission electron microscope (TEM) equipped with an element analyzer (EDS). Measurements of temperature dependence of dielectric permittivity over -55–155°C showed that the sample with a Ho/Mg ratio of 4/4 showed the least change of dielectric permittivity with temperature compared to the sample with a high Ho/Mg ratio of 4/1. The material with a Ho/Mg ratio of 4/1 is characterized by the deepest Ho diffusion into BaTiO3 and the slowest decrease of Ho concentration that is considered to result in a formation of a shell with considerable amounts of low-concentrated Ho-containing solid solutions.
