Ferroelectric Bismuth Titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) was prepared by solution combustion route with glycine as fuel. The single phase Bismuth Titanate was obtained after calcination at 800 degrees C, which was confirmed with the help of X-ray diffraction studies and EDS analysis. SEM micrographs of the calcined powders show agglomerated particles, which is typical of combustion synthesis. Behavior of dielectric constant and dielectric loss as a function of temperature of as prepared sample are reported here. Ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition occurs at the temperature Tc similar to 650 degrees C. Impedance studies were made in the frequency range from 1 KHz to 1 MHz. The semicircles observed in the complex impedance diagrams indicate deviation from the Debye behavior. Activation energy of the sample around T-c is found to be similar to 0.35 eV and below T-c is similar to 0.13 eV, which was calculated using the Arrhenius plots. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
