Ferroelectric thin films of barium titanate were fabricated by sol–gel technique on platinum substrates. The processing temperature was 700 °C. The films obtained with a thickness of 1.5 μm were dense, transparent, and showed ferroelectricity. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction were used for studying the surface morphology and crystallographic structure of the film. Films in the metal–ferroelectric–metal configuration (MFM) were used for the electrical measurements. Dielectric constant and loss tangent were found to be 430 and 0.015, respectively, at 10 kHz under ambient conditions. The e′(T) curve shows broad peak centered around 120 °C as in the case of diffuse phase transition. The ac conductivity is proportional to ω0.9 in the low frequency region and ω1.8 in the high frequency region. The dc conductivity versus temperature curve showed a change in the slope around 125 °C, corresponding to the phase transition. To study the low temperature phase transitions, dielectric parameters on th...
