“…On the other hand, for the layered ferroelectric perovskites (Aurivillius family, [Bi 2 O 2 ] 2+ [A n−1 B n O 3n+1 ] 2− ), the oxygen vacancies prefer to stay in the Bi 2 O 2 layers, where their effect upon the polarization is considered to be small, instead of the octahedral site, which controls the polarization. The origin of the dielectric behavior for these materials have been associated to a positional disorder of cations on A-or B-sites of the perovskite layers that delay the evolution of long-range polar ordering (Blake et al, 1997;Ismunandar & Kennedy, 1999;Kholkin et al, 2001;Haluska & Misture, 2004;Huang et al, 2006). For at least several decades, the dielectric response of ferroelectric materials (polycrystals, single crystals, liquids, polymers and composites) has been of much interest to both experimentalists and theorists.…”
