Popis: Based on the double-site compensation mode, the solubility of La Ba • – Dy Ti ′ defect complexes and the dielectric properties of (Ba 1− x La x )(Ti 1− x Dy x )O 3 (0.03≤ x ≤0.20) ceramics (BLTD) were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and dielectric measurements. The solid solubility of La Ba • – Dy Ti ′ defect complexes in the BaTiO 3 lattice was determined to be x =0.17. With an increase in x , the increase in the unit cell volume was linear and satisfied Vegard׳s law. The dielectric-peak temperature ( T m ) decreased rapidly at a rate of −23 °C/at% La Ba • – Dy Ti ′ . The BLTD ceramics with x =0.05 and 0.07 met the Y5V specification with a higher room-temperature permittivity ( e RT ′ ~4000 and ~3000) and a lower dielectric loss (tan δ g =2.004 EPR signal associated with ionized Ti-vacancy defects appeared in all of the BLTD ceramics. The exclusive occupations of La 3+ ions at Ba sites and the preference for the self-compensation mode by Dy 3+ ions are responsible for the formation of predominant La Ba • – Dy Ti ′ defect complexes and the appearance of the minute concentration of Ti vacancies and Dy Ba • – Dy Ti ′ defect complexes.
