Abstract

Ceramics of Ba3.75Nd9.5Ti18O54 substituted with 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50% Sr have been prepared by the mixed oxide route. Specimens were sintered at temperatures in the range 1350–1500°C. Densities were ∼95% theoretical. The solubility limit for Sr replacing Ba was found to be ∼10%. The relative permittivity (∼80) was almost independent of Sr content, but 2% Sr increased the Qxf value to a maximum of 11000. Static simulation of Sr- bearing Ba3.75Nd9.5Ti18O54 successfully reproduced the structure and lattice parameters to within 1–2%. Different site distributions of Ba-Sr ions have been explored.
