Abstract

Dielectric permittivity (εr) of BaTiO3(BTO) powders was determined by measuring εr of slurries prepared from BTO powder and propylene carbonate as dispersion medium, followed by analyzing with a finite element methods (FEM). The εr of powders depended on their characters such as tetragonality (c/a ratio), density, particle size and specific surface area. In order to extract the effect of each character, a statistical analysis was carried out to represent the εr of powders with an empirical formula, where the c/a ratio, density and particle size were used as parameters. A fairly good agreement between observed data and those expected from the formula was obtained and the contribution of each character to the εr could be determined.
