Polycrystalline Nd-doped SrTiO3ceramics with the formula NdxSr1−xTiO3(NSTO,x= 0, 0.024, 0.056, 0.104, 0.152, 0.200) were prepared by solid state reaction route. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of monophasic compounds and indicated the structure to be changed from cubic to tetragonal by increasing Nd doping concentrations. A remarkable decrease in grain size from ~30 μm for un-doped SrTiO3ceramics to ~1 μm for Nd-doped SrTiO3ceramics withx= 0.024 was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The grain size had a degree of increasing with further increasing Nd doping concentration and reached ~3 μm when thexvalue was 0.200. The dielectric properties of NSTO ceramics were measured at 1 kHz in ambient temperature. It revealed that the dielectric constant dramatically increases for the reason of Nd doping, leading to a maximum value of 19,800 for as-sintered sample withx= 0.104. The breakdown strength of all Nd-doped SrTiO3samples was found to be higher than 10 kV/mm. The relationship between dielectric properties and the microstructure feature, as well as the defect structures correlated with the charge compensation induced by trivalent Nd3+doping, was discussed tentatively.
