Dielectric properties of from to Hz in the temperature range 85 - 700 K

ceramics with x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.33, 0.4 and 0.5 have been synthesized by the mixed oxide method. Dielectric measurements were performed for ceramics from to Hz in the temperature range 85 - 700 K. The dielectric measurements confirmed that the solid solution range extends up to about x = 0.3. In the solid solutions, the temperature of the permittivity maximum was shifted at a rate of -7 K/mol% Ce atom and the permittivity maximum decreased with increasing Ce content. The temperature and frequency dependence of the permittivity was fitted by the Curie - Weiss law beyond the transition temperature and characterized by parameters that are used to describe relaxor behaviour.
