Tóm tắt

Measurements of the dielectric constant κ in high-purity BaTiO3 ceramics as a function of temperature show that κ is quite dependent on grain size in the ferroelectric state while it is almost independent of grain size in the paraelectric state. In the ferroelectric orthorhombic and rhombohedral phases, κ decreases rapidly with lowering temperature when grain size is reduced smaller than 3 μm. It is also observed that the Curie temperature Tc is decreased very slightly, but the lower two transition points are shifted to higher temperatures as grain size decreases.
