The materials based on BaTiO3 can be controlled using different technological
parameters and different additives. The influence of different temperature
levels of sintering (1320°C, 1350°C and 1380°C) on the size of contact area
for 0.1% Ho2O3 doped BaTiO3-ceramics has been investigated. Microstructural
investigations were carried out using scanning electron microscopy (JEOL-JSM
5300) equipped with EDS (QX 2000S) system. Grain size distribution was
determined by quantitative metallography method. The new correlation between
microstructure and dielectric properties of doped BaTiO3-ceramics based on
fractal geometry and contact surface probability is recently developed. The
presented results indicate that statistical model of contact surfaces is
important for the prognosis of BaTiO3-ceramics microstructure and dielectric
properties.
Keywords: BaTiO3-ceramics, microstructure, grain contact surface
