Popis: (Ba0.6Sr0.4)0.85Bi0.1TiO3 ceramics doped with x wt%CaZrO3 (x= 0-10) were synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The effects of CaZrO3 amount on the dielectric properties and structure of (Ba0.6Sr0.4)0.85Bi0.1TiO3 ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction results indicated a pure cubic perovskite structure for all samples and that the lattice parameter increased till x=5 and then slightly decreased. A homogenous microstructure was observed with the addition of CaZrO3. Dielectric measurements revealed a relaxor-like characteristic for all samples and that the diffusivity γ reached the maximum value of 1.78 at x=5. With the addition of CaZrO3, the dielectric constant dependence on electric field was weakened, insulation resistivity enhanced and dielectric breakdown strength improved obviously and reached 19.9 kV/mm at x=7.5. In virtue of low dielectric loss (tan δ 1 500) and high breakdown strength (Eb >17.5 kV/mm), the CaZrO3 doped (Ba0.6Sr0.4)0.85Bi0.1TiO3 ceramic is a potential candidate material for high power electric applications.
