Abstract

Low-frequency dielectric losses (tanδ) in barium titanate ceramics with crystallite sizes of ~100 nm near the Curie temperature are studied. It is shown that the observed tanδ maximum is described by a low-frequency fluctuation mechanism of dielectric losses. An analysis of experimental data shows that the critical nucleus size in ultrafine material is smaller than the one in bulk barium titanate.
