Curie-Weiss behavior in polycrystalline barium titanate from ac measurements

Abstract
The dielectric constant of undoped, polycrystalline barium titanate in the paraelectric phase was obtained from the complex impedance plane representation in the 180–400°C temperature range, between 5 Hz and 13 MHz. A Curie-Weiss behavior is observed, with a Curie constant C o = 10.48 × 104 (K). These results are discussed and compared with results obtained with fixed frequency measurements.
