Abstract

Zr doped Ba 0.6Sr 0.4TiO 3 ceramic was sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and thermal treatment. Sintering behavior, microstructure and dielectric properties of the BST ceramics were investigated by XRD, SEM and impedance analyzer. High dense Ba 0.6Sr 0.4(Zr 0.2Ti 0.8)O 3 ceramic with 98.2% of the theoretical density was fabricated at 1270 °C for 5 min. The dielectric constant of this sample reduced to 850 at 100 kHz, the tunability of the ceramic increased to 57% (1.5 kV/mm, 298 K) and the figure of merit (FOM) value increased to 475, which is promising material for tunable devices application.
