摘要: Dense nanocrystalline BaTiO3 ceramics with a homogeneous grain size of 30\,nm was obtained by pressure assisted sintering. The ferroelectric behaviour of the ceramics was characterized by the dielectric peak at around 120\,\du, the $P$-$E$ hysteresis loop and some ferroelectric domains. These experimental results indicate that the critical grain size for the disappearance of ferroelectricity in nanocrystalline BaTiO3 ceramics fabricated by pressure assisted sintering is below 30\,nm. The ferroelectric property decreasing with decreasing grain size can be explained by the lowered tetragonality and the `dilution' effect of grain boundaries.
