A high-permittivity and low-loss (Ba1–xNdx)(Ti1–y–x/4Cey)O3 ceramic
10.1016/j.matlet.2018.04.012 2018-04-03 (Ba1–xNdx)(Ti1–y–x/4Cey)O3 (BNTC) ceramics with a pseudo-cubic structure were prepared using the mixed oxide method. The dielectric-peak temperature decreased rapidly at a rate of −27°C/at.% Nd for BNTC with y = 0.05. BNTC with x = y = 0.05 (BN5TC5) exhibited... |
