The Curie point (T C) of BaTiO3 was earlier reported to be 120° C and has been recently believed to be 130° C. Some experiments have been performed here to reconfirm the T C. Firing conditions used for preparing BaTiO3 were examined first with the use of pure BaCO3 or Ba(NO3)2 and TiO2. The x-dependence of T C in (BaO)1- x (TiO2)1+ x solid solution was measured. Data were scattered and suffered from individual variations. According to probability considerations, T C of BaTiO3 was evaluated from the intercept at x=0. On the other hand, composition dependence of T C in some related solid solution systems, (Ba1- y Pb y )TiO3. (Ba1- y Sr y )TiO3 and (BaTiO3)1- y (KF) y , was examined and the T C of BaTiO3 was estimated by extrapolation toward the limit y→0. In conclusion, the Curie point of BaTiO3 is determined as 123.0±0.6° C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
