Barium titanate powders were produced by hydrothermal synthesis, at 220ºC, for 20 hours, in stoichiometric composition and doped with lantanum varying from 0.2 to 1.0mol%.The powders were characterized by x-ray diffraction and then pressed at 3,000 kgf to form discs. The discs were sinterized on air at 1250ºC for 5 hours and characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and complex impedanciometry
