Abstract

We present in this article the latest development of single-phase nanocrystalline ceramics, x(BiAlO3) − y(BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3) − (1 − x − y) (Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3), abbreviated as xBAO − yBZT − (1 − x − y) BCT with (x, y) = (0, 0.50), (0.01, 0.49), (0.03, 0.47), and (0.1, 0.4), which were prepared using a high-energy ball milling technique. In the current study, BZT − xBCT has been selected as a host system to be incorporated into BiAlO3. Their properties of structure, relative dielectric permittivity (ε), diffuse phase transition (γ), peak broadening (δ γ ), and deviation from Curie–Weiss law (ΔT C) were systematically investigated. However, the decreasing trend of Curie temperature (T c) in the system does not obey the Vegard’s law. Analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns shows the solid solubility of (Bi3+, Ca2+) into A-site and that of (Zr4+, Al3+) into B-site of pure BaTiO3 lattice of tetragonal symmetry with space group P4mm. The values of γ (1.75 to 1.63) confirmed that the ceramic has intermediate behavior between the relaxor and normal ferroelectric, which is evaluated by modified Curie–Weiss law. The high value of quality factor (115), when x = 0.01, y = 0.49 at 1-kHz frequency and temperature 323 K (50  °C), decreases with the increasing frequency.
