Fig. 3 Temperature dependence of (a) the dielectric constant values for (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.86Ta0.1Sb0.04)O3 ceramics measured at 1 kHz and (b) the dielectric loss (tan δ) values for (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.86Ta0.1Sb0.04)O3 ceramics measured at 1 kHz. The inset in the graph magnifies the region of the graph from 20 °C to 250 °C and from 20 °C to 300 °C for (a) and (b), respectively.
