الوصف: We revealed the anomalous temperature behavior of the giant dielectric permittivity and unusual frequency dependences of the pyroelectric response of the fine-grained ceramics prepared by the spark plasma sintering of the ferroelectric BaTiO3 nanoparticles. The temperature dependences of the electro-resistivity indicate the frequency-dependent transition in the electro-transport mechanisms between the lower and higher conductivity states accompanied by the maximum in the temperature dependence of the loss angle tangent. The pyroelectric thermal-wave probing revealed the existence of the spatially inhomogeneous counter-polarized ferroelectric state at the opposite surfaces of the ceramic sample. We described the anomalous temperature behavior of the giant dielectric response and losses using the core-shell model for ceramic grains and modified Maxwell-Wagner approach. We assume that core shells and grain boundaries, which contain high concentration of space charge carriers due to the presence of graphite inclusions in the inter-grain space, can effectively screen weakly conductive ferroelectric grain cores. The superparaelectric-like state with a giant dielectric response can appear in the paraelectric shells and inter-grain space due to the step-like thermal activation of localized polarons in the spatial regions, agreeing with experimentally observed frequency-dependent transition of the electro-transport mechanism. The obtained results can be the key for the description of complex electrophysical properties inherent to the strongly inhomogeneous media with electrically coupled insulating ferroelectric nanoregions and semiconducting superparaelectric-like regions.
