Barium lanthanum bismuth titanate (Ba1-(3/2)xLaxBi4Ti4O15, x = 0-0.4) ceramics were fabricated using the powders synthesized via the solid-state reaction route. X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirmed the above compositions to be monophasic and belonged to the m = 4 member of the Aurivillius family of oxides. The effect of the partial presence of La3+ on Ba2+ sites on the microstructure, dielectric and relaxor behaviour of BaBi4Ti4O15 (BBT) ceramics was investigated. For the compositions pertaining to x <= 0.1, the dielectric constant at both room temperature and in the vicinity of the temperature of the dielectric maximum (T-m) of the parent phase (BBT) increased significantly with an increase in x while T-m remained almost constant. Tm shifted towards lower temperatures accompanied by a decrease in the magnitude of the dielectric maximum (e(m)) with an increase in the lanthanum content (0.1 < x <= 0.4). The dielectric relaxation was modelled using the Vogel-Fulcher relation and a decrease in the activation energy for frequency dispersion with increasing x was observed. The frequency dispersion of T-m was found to decrease with an increase in lanthanum doping, and for compositions corresponding to x >= 0.3, T-m was frequency independent. Well-developed P(polarization)-E(electric field) hysteresis loops were observed at 150 degrees C for all the samples and the remanent polarization (2P(r)) was improved from 6.3 mu C cm(-2) for pure BBT to 13.4 mu C cm(-2) for Ba0.7La0.2Bi4Ti4O15 ceramics. Dc conductivities and associated activation energies were evaluated using impedance spectroscopy.
