Abstract

The Ba 0.5Ca 0.5TiO 3 (BCT) composition dependent dielectric and structural properties of (1-x)K 0.5Na 0.5NbO 3-xBa 0.5Ca 0.5TiO 3 powders were investigated. Room temperature x-ray diffraction revealed the powder structure to transform from orthorhombic to cubic with increasing BCT composition. The frequency dependent dielectric constant measurements revealed a shift in the temperature of the maximum dielectric constant for at frequencies, suggesting that the system exhibits ferroelectric relaxor behavior. The system containing 15% BCT showed the closest calculated Curie-Weiss exponent to 2, which the exponent for a relaxor ferroelectric.
