Abstract: Three-layered novel compound namely Sm modified Bi4Ti3O12 (Sm0.37Bi3.63Ti3O12) was prepared by conventional solid state route. Dielectric measurements were made in the temperature range RT-520oC at different frequencies. The dielectric peaks of threelayered compound were found to broad unlike the other ferroelectric compounds. This kind of diffusive behavior of the title compound is explained on the basis of modified Curie-Weiss law, and an attempt is made to understand the results

Keywords: Sm modified Bi4Ti3O12 (Sm0.37Bi3.63Ti3O12), Curie-Weiss law
