摘要

Ternary substitutions of Ca2+, Sn4+, and Ti4+ (20%) into Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BZN) ceramics were studied for structural, dielectric, and electrical properties. Compositions prepared via solid-state reaction, showed single-phase cubic (Pm3̅m) structures, with lattice expansion for Ca2+ and contraction for Sn4+/Ti4+. SEM revealed grain refinement most pronounced, in Ti4+ doped BZN (BZTN, 3.28 µm). BZTN exhibited the highest dielectric constant (~ 34,000), diffuse transition near 230℃, and loss tangent of 10.75 (1 kHz). BZTN also gave the maximum current (2.06 × 10–2 A at 5 V, 500℃), while Sn4+-doped BZN showed highest conductivity and lowest resistance, confirming enhanced defect-mediated charge transport.
