Abstract

The dielectric, piezoelectric properties and dispersive ferroelectric phase transitions of (0.84 − x) BaTiO3–0.16CaTiO3–xBaZrO3 ternary ceramics were investigated in this manuscript. The study found that the optimum BaZrO3 doping amount was 0.1 mol%. Compared to the binary system, the ternary system has a denser microstructure and a more uniform grain size, and more excellent electrical properties. The influence mechanism of BaZrO3 doping on the system was explained in detail by lattice theory and domain theory.
