Evolution of phase transformation behavior and dielectric temperature stability of BaTiO3-Bi(Zn0.5Zr0.5)O3 ceramics system

► (1 − x)BaTiO3-xBi(Zn0.5Zr0.5)O3 ceramics were synthesized. ► A systematic structural change was observed near x = 0.07 and x = 0.4. ► A change from a normal ferroelectric behavior to diffusive and dispersive relaxor-like characteristic was also observed. ► (1 − x)BT-xBZZ ceramics show good dielectric temperature stability over a wide temperature range.
