Abstract

Abstract The electrical degradation of BaTiO3 of different Ba/Ti ratios and different grain sizes has been studied. TiO2 −rich compositions degrade more rapidly than stoichiometric or BaO-rich samples. Variation in grain size from 1–10 μm has no effect on the degradation rate of undoped BaTiO3 with Ba/Ti = 1.000.
