Temperature evolution of polarization versus electric field of (Ba 0.4 Sr 0.6 )TiO 3 and (Ba 0.9 Sr 0.1 )TiO 3 ceramics was investigated. Polarization characteristics of (Ba 0.9 Sr 0.1 )TiO 3 belong to ferroelectrics with diffuse phase transition (DPT), while the ones of (Ba 0.4 Sr 0.6 )TiO 3 are rather different. (Ba 0.4 Sr 0.6 )TiO 3 ceramics display very soft ferroelectricity and extremely high dielectric tunability. The long‐range ferroelectric ordering in (Ba 0.4 Sr 0.6 )TiO 3 ceramics disappears completely below temperature T m of maximum dielectric permittivity ε m , which is different from normal DPT ferroelectrics. The special ferroelectric behavior is hypothesized to be attributed to random arrangements of the distorted TiO 6 octahedra.
