A　new　type　of　FeTiTaO6　ceramics　with　a　high　density　was　synthesized　by　the　solid-state　method.　X-ray　diffraction　and　scanning　electron　microscopy　patterns　indicate　that　the　specimens　exhibit　a　rutile　structure　and　the　mean　particle　size　was　about　200-300　nm.　The　heterovalent　substitutions　of　Fe3+　and　Ta5+　at　Ti4+　site　drive　the　incipient　ferroelectric　to　the　relaxor　behavior,　and　a　strong　dispersion　of　the　maximum　dielectric　permittivity　appears　around　T-m,　which　shifts　towards　higher　temperatures　with　the　increasing　frequency.　The　variation　of　T-m　with　frequency　follows　the　Vogel-Fulcher　relationship　well,　wherein　E-a=0.068　eV,　T-f=508　K,　and　f(0)=109　Hz.　These　results　indicate　that　the　nonperovskite-type　FeTiTaO6　ceramic　is　a　promising　candidate　for　lead-free　relaxor　ferroelectrics　in　practical　applications.
