The effect of Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3 TiO 3 (BCT) substitution on the structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of mechano-chemically synthesized lead-free (1Àx)Ba 0.9 Sr 0.1 TiO 3 -(x)Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3 TiO 3 (x=0.0, 0.10, 0.20, 0.35, and 0.50) ceramics have been investigated. XRD patterns confirms the formation of tetragonal phase with P4mm space group. The results indicate a strong influence of BCT substitution on the structural and electrical properties of Ba 0.9 Sr 0.1 TiO 3 (BST) ceramic. BST-BCT ceramic for x=0.35 have shown high dielectric constant e m~2 1 800, high remnant polarization P r~1 0.16 lC/cm 2 , large piezoelectric charge constant D 33~2 93 pC/N, large piezoelectric voltage constant g 33~5 .80 mVÁm/N, and highest dielectric breakdown strength E bd~2 24 kV/cm among the five synthesized samples. The correlation between structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of the BST ceramic with increasing BCT content have been systematically described on the basis of domain wall motion and grain size effect.
