Abstract

Microwave dielectric ceramics with the composition of (1-x)Ba(Ni_1/2W_1/2)O₃-xBaTiO₃ (x = 0.1-0.5) were prepared by a solid-state reaction method. A cubic-to-hexagonal phase transition occurred from x = 0.15 to 0.5, where the cubic double perovskite structure transformed into the h-BaTiO₃-type hexagonal perovskite structure. In this paper, we revealed a cluster model caused by a hopping mechanism as the origin of the cubic-to-hexagonal phase transition on the basis of the low frequency dielectric property results. This model was then proved by XRD analysis, XPS analysis, and HRTEM and EDS techniques, respectively.
