Abstrakt: Polycrystalline Ba(FeNb) 0.5O 3/BFN ceramics were sintered conventionally and in a microwave (MW) furnace, respectively. Conventional and microwave sintering temperatures were same with different soaking times. Microwave sintering of BFN ceramics showed enhanced grain growth with improved dielectric properties. Highest dielectric constant (~29,913 at 1 kHz) at room temperature (RT) was observed in BFN ceramics sintered in MW furnace for 30 min. At RT, a non-Debye type of dielectric relaxation was observed in both conventionally and MW sintered BFN ceramics. The observed giant dielectric constant of conventionally and MW sintered BFN ceramics was attributed to intrinsic (space charge polarization) and extrinsic (Maxwell-Wagner type polarization) effects, respectively.
