Abstract
By studying the dielectric properties of BaBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 ceramics, a representative of layered ferroelectrics, significant dispersion of ε* has been revealed at low- and infra-low frequences in the region of phase transition. Dispersion of ε* observed in “low-temperature” region (T < T m ) is caused by relaxation of polar formations and their borders. The “high-temperature” dispersion is observed in the region T > T m where the basic contribution to ε* is provided by processes of the Maxwell-Wagner relaxation.
