  • Abstract:
  • This paper discusses the preparation and experimentation of BaTiO3 ceramic material. The solid state reaction method was used to prepare the sample. The desired crystal structure, formation of phase, and acquired lattice structure of the as synthesized sample was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique and verified by a reliable method known as Rietveld refinement. The electrical properties viz dielectric loss and permittivity of the aforementioned compound were investigated in more detail. The synthesized sample has a tetragonal crystal structure and exhibits the P4mm space group, as revealed from the analysis of the XRD data. The absence of any new impurity phase within the bounds of experimentation is evident from the non-existence of additional reflection peaks in the XRD spectrum and its noise free nature. This indicates that the sample is a single phased material. The sample shows considerable dielectric properties which includes higher permittivity and lower loss tangent values as a function of the applied field, as revealed by the dielectric studies. Additionally, ac conductivity studies displays insulating nature of the sample. Impedance investigations were conducted in order to highlight the conduction mechanism. The research showed that the sample inherits a non-Debye character, that time constants are distributed, and that a single semicircle infers the role of grain boundaries in the conduction mechanism.
