Effects of grain size and grain growth in Nb‐doped BaTiO 3 on temperature and frequency dependencies of the dielectric constant were investigated. When 0.65 μm powder is sintered to an average grain size of 1 μm, two dielectric constant peaks indicate the presence of Nb‐free BaTiO 3 and of Nb‐containing material. Single peaks are observed above room temperature after additional grain growth or when 0.07 μm powder is sintered to an average grain size of 1 μm. The Curie point of pure BaTiO 3 with 1 μm grains is 4 to 6°C lower than that of material with grains >10 μm. Thermodynamically, this behavior is accounted for by a phase inversion stress ∼ the room‐temperature stress.
