DOIAbstract
<p>A series of Ba<sub>1-x-y</sub>Sr<sub>x</sub>Ca<sub>y</sub>TiO<sub>3</sub> compounds were prepared with varying average ionic radii and cation disorder on A-site. All samples showed typical ferroelectric behavior. A simple empirical equation correlated Curie temperature, <em>T<sub>C</sub></em>, with the values of ionic radii of A-site cations. This correlation was related to the distortion of TiO<sub>6</sub> octahedra observed during neutron diffraction studies. The equation was used for the selection of compounds with predetermined values of <em>T<sub>C</sub></em>. The effects of A-site ionic radii on the temperatures of phase transitions in Ba<sub>1-x-y</sub>Sr<sub>x</sub>Ca<sub>y</sub>TiO<sub>3</sub> were discussed. </p
