Properties of the hot-pressed strontium barium niobate ceramics

Preparation of single crystalline Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 particles

“…8 Because SBN crystals have obvious anisotropic properties, the attempts to prepare grainoriented SBN ceramics were tried in recent years. Nagata et al 9 achieved anisotropic SBN ceramics by hot pressing, but the polarization values were very below the single crystal values. Duran et al 2 prepared high grain-oriented SBN ceramics via TGG, however the acicular KSr 2 Nb 5 O 15 (KSN) particles were used as templates, which introduced more K + ions into the SBN lattice.…”

Diffuse Phase Transition in Pb2Sb3DyTi5O18Ceramic

“…Further, this family is more interesting because of the presence of diffuse phase transition Paper originally presented at AMF-4, Bangalore, India, December 12-15, 2003 in them due to substitutional randomness or inhomogeneity in atomic sites and size of the substituted ions. A number of works on TB materials have been reported with different aim [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Continuous attempts have been made to investigate Pb 2 A 3 RTi 5 O 18 (A ≡ Sb/Bi; R ≡ rare-earth ions) compounds with desired characteristics from both theoretical and application points of view.…”

Application of Texture Engineering to Piezoelectric Ceramics-A Review-

“…6,7 The techniques which were employed to develop texture were the application of pressure during heating e.g., hot pressing and hot forging [2][3][4]6 and the sintering of compacts containing aligned anisometric particles.…”
