Flexible $BaTiO_3$ films as dielectric materials for high energy density capacitors were deposited on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The growth behavior, microstructure and electrical properties of the flexible $BaTiO_3$ films were dependent on the sputtering pressure during sputtering. The RMS roughness and crystallite size of the $BaTiO_3$ increased with increasing sputtering pressure. All $BaTiO_3$ films had an amorphous structure, regardless of the sputtering pressures, due to the low PET substrate temperature. The composition of films showed an atomic ratio (Ba:Ti:O) of 0.9:1.1:3. The electrical properties of the $BaTiO_3$ films were affected by the microstructure and roughness. The $BaTiO_3$ films prepared at 100 mTorr exhibited a dielectric constant of ~80 at 1 kHz and a leakage current of $10^{-8}A$ at 400 kV/cm. Also, films showed polarization of $8{\mu}C/cm^2$ at 100 kV/cm and remnant polarization ($P_r$) of $2{\mu}C/cm^2$. This suggests that sputter deposited flexible $BaTiO_3$ films are a promising dielectric that can be used in high energy density capacitors owing to their high dielectric constant, low leakage current and stable preparation by sputtering.

Diffusion coupling experiment was done to study expansion of body and soild reaction in BaCO3-TiO2 system. Specimen of BaCO3 and TiO2 was formed with Pt-mark's method. Each specimen was fired at interval of 25℃ from 900℃ to 1000℃ for 2hrs. After that, specimen was fixed with resin and polished. Product layers of specimen were observed with SEM and EDS. The result were following; 1. Diffusion component is Ba2+, which diffuse toward TiO2. 2. Large crack between layer of BaCO3 and Ba2TiO4 was generated because of difference of thermal expansion coefficient. 3. Ba2TiO4 is formed to TiO2 body by the reaction of BaTiO3 and BaO and its structure is very porous. 4. BaTiO3 changes immediately to Ba2TiO4 by the reaction of BaO. But BaTiO3 which formed by the reaction of TiO2 and Ba2TiO4 exsists as layer because the diffusion distance of Ba2+ is far.

By the method of direct wet process which has been developed in our laboratory, the high purity BaTiO3 powders could be synthesized from the room temperature to 90$^{\circ}C$ according to particle sizes. For to detect the PTCR effects, Sb2O3 wasdoped in the BaTiO3 powders which had been prepared on above method. As the results, the PTCR effects were in creased with the decreasing grain size of BaTiO3 powders.

$BaTiO_3$ powders were prepared by sol-gel method from different concentration of KOH aqueous solution and Ba/Ti molar ratio. Particle shape, size and crystal structure of prepared $BaTiO_3$ powders were analyzed by SEM, XRD, and FT-IR. As the result of KOH concentration changing, spherical particles were obtained by condition more than 3 M and particle size decreased as concentration increasing. Different appearance showed between dried and sintered powders against changing of Ba/Ti molar ratio. In case of dried powders, the crystallinity decreased as molar ratio increasing. On the other hand, increased as molar ratio increasing in case of sintered powders.

The structural formation of inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in polymer matrices is a key technology for producing advanced nanocomposites with a unique combination of optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. Barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$) nanoparticles are attractive for increasing the refractive index and dielectric constant of polymer nanocomposites. Current synthesis processes for $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles require expensive precursors or organic solvents, complicated steps, and long reaction times. In this study, we demonstrate a simple and continuous approach for synthesizing $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles based on a salt-assisted ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. This process allows the synthesis of $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles with diameters of 20-50 nm and a highly crystalline tetragonal structure. The optical properties and photocatalytic activities of the nanoparticles show that they are suitable for use as fillers in various nanocomposites.

When barium titanate was synthesized in soild-solid reaction the abnormal expansion occurred from 900$^{\circ}C$ to 1100$^{\circ}C$. The equi-molecular mixture of BaCO3 and TiO2 was sintered from 800$^{\circ}C$ to 1300$^{\circ}C$ on the condition of air, vacuum and CO2 atmosphere. After that the specimens were tested closely with XRD, Dilatometer, SEM and EDS. The result indicated that; 1. The crystal phase which was concerned with expansion of BaTiO3 was Ba2TiO4 as the intermediate crystal phase. 2. The formation of Ba2TiO4 was affected by the firing atmosphere. 3. The expansion occurred when BaTiO3 changed to Ba2TiO4 and pore also expanded by the expansion of BaTiO3 body just as the model of expansion.

The effects of flux KCl and dopant Nb2O5 on the PTCR characteristics of BaTiO3 prepared by molten salt synthesis method have been investigated. As the amount of dopant Nb2O5 is over the solubility limit in BaTiO3, the room-temperature resistivity increases, and the PTCR effect and the grain size decrease. The variation of the amount of flux KCl slightly influences on the room-temperature resistivity, PTCR effect and grain size in Nb2O5 doped BaTiO3, but BaTiO3 ceramics prepared by the method of molten salt synthesis show larger PTCR effect than those of conventional calcining of mixed oxides.

The microstructure of the cubic perovskite [(Ba$\sub$85.5/ Ca$\sub$15.5)(Ti$\sub$60/ Mn$\sub$40/)O$_2$]-based dielectrics has been investigated. BCTM which control both A-site and B-site has less electrical characteristics than BaTiO$_3$. The dielectric factor was decreased and the dielectric loss factor was improved because BaMnO$_3$was formed in the solide reaction method.

The doping effect of thulium on electrical properties and degradation behavior in barium titanate ceramics ($BaTiO_3$) was investigated in terms of generations of core-shell structure and micro-chemical changes through highly accelerated degradation test. The dielectric specimens of pellet type and multi-layered sheets were prepared by using $BaTiO_3$ with undoped and doped with 1 mol% $Tm_2O_3$. The $BaTiO_3$ ceramics doped with 1 mol% $Tm_2O_3$ had 40% higher dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}$ = 2700) than that of the undoped $BaTiO_3$ specimen at curie temperature and met X7R specification. According to the result of highly accelerated degradation test conducted at $150^{\circ}C$, 70 V, and 24 hr, the oxygen diffusion was declined in dielectrics doped with 1 mol% $Tm_2O_3$. The $Tm^{3+}$ ion substituted selectively Ba site and Ti site and contributed to the generation of the core-shell structure. Oxygen vacancies occurred by substitution for Ti site could reduce excess oxygen that reacted to the Ni electrode.
