Ag. Belous et al., Anomalies in the temperature dependence of the microwave dielectric properties of Ba6-xSm8+2x/3Ti18O54, APPL PHYS L, 77(11), 2000, pp. 1707-1709
Measurements of the microwave dielectric properties of Ba6-xSm8+2x/3Ti18O54
solid solutions revealed the existence of a broad maximum in the temperatu
re dependence of the permittivity as well as the dielectric loss. Submillim
eter-wave frequency measurements confirmed the intrinsic origin of the obse
rved anomaly, which could possibly be ascribed to phase transition with unk
nown nature in the Ba6-xSm8+2x/3Ti18O54 solid solution. The temperature of
the anomaly, which is in the range of 90-120 degrees C, depends on composit
ion of Ba6-xSm8+2x/3Ti18O54 and decreases with an increase in x. (C) 2000 A
