© 2020 Elsevier Inc. This study is devoted to the investigation of the high dielectric constant causes in complex oxides with a structure of the K2NiF4 type. А new thermobaric treated ceramics on the basis conjugate LaxSr2-xFeхTi1-хO4 (х = 0.5, 0.7) solid solutions was synthesized and the study their structure, microstructure, magnetic and dielectric properties was performed. It is shown that antiferromagnetic interactions coexist with ferromagnetic, which become dominant towards to low temperatures; the appearance of two types of magnetic interactions may be related to the presence of magnetic ions of different valences. Different values of the dielectric constants ε are observed in wide region of frequencies 10–107 Hz. In obtained at ambient pressure LaxSr2-xFeхTi1-хO4 (х = 0.5, 0.7) ceramics the highest permittivity ε value is only 30–50 in the frequency range from 1 kHz to 1 MHz. After the samples treatment at 1273 K and P = 4 GPa during 5 min ε increases to 5–102–103 at 293 К and independent of frequency in the range (102–106) Hz. At the temperature increase the permittivity as well increases and the ε value becomes ~106 at, approximately, f = 100 Hz and T = 750 K. An obvious change of samples microstructure and polyhedra structure anisotropy in LaxSr2-xFeхTi1-хO4 (х = 0.5, 0.7) was observed after the thermobaric treatment. Described in this article performed dielectric properties investigations indicate that possible reasons of the high-permittivity origin are specifics of layered structure, microstructure and charge polarization associated with it, Maxwell-Wagner polarization at the grain boundaries and inhomogeneities and small polaron hopping conduction mechanism.
