Some Aspects of the Influence of Particle Size on Properties and Behaviour of a Dielectric Material : Example of Barium Titanate

Anybody agrees with the idea that particle size plays an important role in the behaviour of a polycrystalline material but very few studies are giving precise information about this role. In this paper some experimental results are presented succintly to illustrate the importance of this physico-chemical factor. They are related to barium titanate, the main component of the dielectric material in the type II ceramic capacitors.
