Abstract
We have studied the formation of BaTi1 − x Zr x O3 solid solutions with the perovskite structure. The phase composition, microstructure, and electrical properties of the BaTi1 − x Zr x O3 materials have been investigated. The results demonstrate that their dielectric permittivity (ɛ) and loss tangent (tan δ) decrease with increasing zirconium content. At the same time, their nonlinearity coefficient (n R) remains large (n R = 30–50%) in relatively low fields (E = 30–50 kV/cm). The present data suggest that the materials studied here are potentially attractive for use in creating nonlinear devices of modern microelectronics.
