Notes:
The purpose of the present investigation is to describe the influence of the processing parameters on the dielectric behavior of manganese-doped Ba(Ti1−xZrx)O3ceramics, particularly variations in the small-signal aging rate, temperature characteristic, and hysteresis. In this paper, the aging behavior of base-metal electrode materials above the temperature of the permittivity maximum (TM), including the influence of the zirconium content and annealing conditions, is described for the first time. The aging rate at temperatures greater than TM decreases as the oxygen partial pressure increases during annealing and the zirconium content increases, whereas the aging rate exhibits a maximum at temperatures much less than TM. The behavior is explained in terms of a diffuse phase transition. Hysteresis-loop deformation is observed during aging.
