The size effect of the dielectric properties and the barrier height was investigated in the ferroelectric solid solution Ba<Subscript> x </Subscript>Sr<Subscript>1−x </Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> system. The decrease of the grain size causes the suppression of the ferroelectricity, and the increase of the relaxation frequency. Barrier heights increase...</subscript></subscript></subscript>
