Dense BaTi2O5 ceramics with KF doping up to 5 at. % were synthesized by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The SPS method enabled us to overcome the densifying difficulty in conventional sintering which is caused by the limit of the decomposing temperature of this metastable phase. We observed drastic KF-doping effect on the ferroelectric (FE) properties of BaTi2O5. Although there is only very small change in lattice parameters upon KF doping, the peak temperature in dielectric constant strongly decreases in an exponential way. The diffuseness of phase transition increases and FE relaxor state sets in for KF content as low as 1 at. %. Possible structural reasons for the effect and the implication for the nature of FE phase transition in BaTi2O5 are discussed.
