N2 - The dielectric properties of (Ba0.6Sr0.4)(Ti 1-xSnx)03 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) ceramics were investigated. Single-phase specimens having a cubic perovskite structure could be obtained. As Sn concentration increased, dielectric loss decreased untill a composition of x = 0.15 and slightly increased as Sn concentration increased further. The diffused phase transition appeared owing to substitution of Sn ions. When Sn was substituted at 0.1 mol in (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 at 1400°C, the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, tunabllity, Curie point, and figure of merit (FOM) were 1400, 0.0027, 18%, -40°C, and 67, respectively. These compositions show excellent dielectric properties than those of (Ba0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 ferroelectrics, which are limelight materials for tunable devices such as varactors, phase shifters, and frequency agile filters.
