It is a common and effective method to enhance the dielectric properties of BST ceramics by adding rare-earth elements. In this paper, it is important to analyze the cause of the high dielectric constant behavior of La-doped BST ceramics. The results show that proper rare earth La dopant ([Formula: see text]) may greatly increase the dielectric constant of BST ceramics, and also improve the temperature stability, evidently. According to the current–voltage ([Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) characteristics, the proper La-doped BST ceramics may reach the better semiconductivity, with the decrease and increase in La doping, the ceramics are insulators. By using the Schottky barrier model and electric microstructure model to find the surface or grain boundary potential barrier height, the width of the depletion layer and grain size do play an important role in impacting the dielectric constant.

Double rare-earth (La; Sm/Gd) substituted Aurivillius family of Bismuth Layered Structured Ferroelectrics (BLSF) namely Bi2.6Sm0.2La0.2TiNbO9 (BSLT; sample-A), Bi2.6Gd0.2La0.2TiNbO9 (BGLT; sample-B), single phase ceramics were prepared by solid state route. In addition, intergrowth (x BSLT - (1-x) BGLT, where x=0.49; sample-C) and solid solution (BSLT­x - BGLTy; where x + y=0.4; sample-D) materials were prepared. Dielectric, ferroelectric and Raman spectroscopic properties were studied on the said above materials. The X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectra revealed well-formation of stable structure. Though, the sample-C and sample-D have lower coercive field, compared to the sample-A and sample-B, but they exhibited sharp hysterisis loop. Therefore the instrinsic defects of sample-D inhabits more sensitivity towards the ferroelectric behaviour. The results were corroborated to the impedance and dielectrical data. The results were consistent with the SEM micrographs and complex impedance plots. An attempt is made to understand the effect of rare-earth ions on A-site of layered-pervoskite structure, defined as: (Bi2O2)2+(An-1BnO3n+1)2-.The term n represents number of pervoskite blocks interleaved with the bismuth oxide layers.
