Ba{sub 0.68}Sr{sub 0.32}TiO{sub 3} ceramics of perovskite structure are prepared by solid state reaction method with addition of x mol% Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3}, and their dielectric properties are investigated. It is found that, integrating with the lattice parameters and tolerance factor t, there is an alternation of substitution preference of Sm{sup 3+} for the host cations in perovskite lattice. Owing to the replacement of Sm{sup 3+} ions for Ba{sup 2+} ions in the A site, T{sub c} rises with the increase of Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} doping when the doping content is below 0.1 mol%; meanwhile, when the content is more than 0.1 mol%, Sm{sup 3+} ions tend to occupy the B-site, causing a drop of T{sub c}. Owing to the modifications of Sm{sup 3+} doping, dielectric constant, dissipation factor and temperature stability of dissipation factor are influenced remarkably, making it a superior candidate for environment-friendly applications. Moreover, the creation of oxygen vacancies controls the dielectric constant when the addition is above 0.1 mol%, so the dielectric constant decreases with increasing of samarium.
