The cold-pressing ceramic processing technique was used to prepare barium titanate ceramics doped with Ce at Ti sites and with Eu at Ba sites on the base of formulas Ba （ Ti1 -x Cex ） O3 （x = 0. 05, 0. 10 ） （CBT） and （ Ba1-y Euy ） Ti1-x/8O3 （ y = 0. 05, 0. 10） （EBT）. Associated with structures and microstructures, the effects of cerium and europium doping on dielectric properties of BaTiO3 ceramics were discussed. The CBT ceramics exhibit a pseudocubic perovskite structure, while the EBT ceramics exhibit a tetragonal perovskite structure with the exception of the existence of a small percentage of the Eu2Ti2O7 phase. The Curie peak of BaTiO3 shifts towards room temperature at rates of 3 ℃/mol Ce atoms and 10 ℃/mol Eu atoms（ Eu≤5% ）, respectively. Compared with the CBT ceramics, the EBT ceramics show significant advantages, such as a narrow fine grain size distribution（ 1 μm）, a lower porosity and a higher density（5.85 g/cm^3）, more stable dielectric-temperature dependence（ ε′= 1600-1800 at t 〈 50℃ ） and a lower dissipation factor（ 〈 0. 05 ）. The stability of dielectric constant with frequency in BaTiO3 can extend to 107 Hz due to Ce and Eu doping.展开更多
