• We report an unusual dielectric behavior of acceptor (copper)-doped barium titanate, where along with sharp temperature-invariant Curie peaks, a frequency dispersion, which is much stronger than that of a normal ferroelectric material has been observed. The value of $\gamma$ (exponent of modified Curie–Weiss law) has been found to be 1.5 at 1 kHz, which is intermediate to those of a ferroelectric and a relaxor material. However, at 1 MHz frequency, $\gamma$ is equal to 1 similar to a normal ferroelectric. The simple reasoning of additive coupling of ferroelectricity and Maxwell–Wagner relaxation falls short of explaining these observations. Such behaviour can be understood by considering the role of an impressed local ac field across the grain boundaries of the samples, the field being generated from the alternating space charge polarization at low frequencies.
