Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • We investigate dielectric properties and phase transition of Sm{sup 3+}-doped BaZr{sub 0.2}Ti{sub 0.8}O{sub 3} ceramics. • The additive amount of Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} can greatly affect the dielectric properties. • The materials undergo a diffuse type ferroelectric phase transition. • There is an alternation of substitution preference of Sm{sup 3+} ion for the host cations in perovskite lattice. - Abstract: The dielectric properties and phase transition of Sm{sup 3+}-doped BaZr{sub 0.2}Ti{sub 0.8}O{sub 3} (BZT20) ceramics were investigated. Room temperature X-ray diffraction study suggested that the compositions had single-phase cubic symmetry. Microstructure studies showed that the grain size decreased and that the Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} amount markedly affected the dielectric properties of BZT20. A dielectric constant of 5700 at 0.2 mol% Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} and a dissipation factor of only 0.0011 at 2 mol% Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} were observed, indicating that BZT20 had significant potential applications. Moreover, the dielectric constant, dissipation factor, phase-transition temperature, and maximum dielectric constant increased with increased Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} amount at ≤0.2 mol% Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} but decreased with increased Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3} amount at >0.2 mol% Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3}.
