Highlights: [•] We investigate dielectric properties and phase transition of Sm3+-doped BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3 ceramics. [•] The additive amount of Sm2O3 can greatly affect the dielectric properties. [•] The materials undergo a diffuse type ferroelectric phase transition. [•] There is an alternation of substitution preference of Sm3+ ion for the host cations in perovskite lattice.
