Abstract Strontium Titanate (SrTiO3) is one attractive material studied. In this study, SrTiO3 has been fabricated via the co-precipitation technique. The samples were sintered at 800°C and 900°C with holding times of 2 h and 4 h for each temperature. The purposes of this study were to synthesize SrTiO3 material using co-precipitation technique and to observe the microstructure and chemical bonds of the SrTiO3 as the variations of the sintering temperatures and holding times. According to the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results, the sintering temperatures and holding times influenced the intensity values and peak broadening. The alteration in both parameters consequently changed the crystallite size and lattice strain of the SrTiO3 material. Furthermore, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) results validated the SrTiO3 material by existence of Sr-Ti-O chemical bonds. Also, the absorption peaks of O-H, C-H, and C=O chemical bonds in the SrTiO3 declined due to the higher temperature and longer holding time demonstrating impurities declined. Therefore, according to this study, the sintering temperature of 900°C and the holding time of 4 h was the best parameter for fabricating SrTiO3 powder.

In this work, we report the effect of sintering temperature (900°C, 1000°C, 1100°C and 1200°C) on the electrical and magnetotransport properties of polycrystalline La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO). Single phase of LSMO hexagonal structure (R-3c) accompanied with minor phases was successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. With increasing sintering temperature, grain growth was promoted and grain connectivity was improved. It was found that an enhancement of resistivity on smaller grain size was due to larger grain surface over volume (grain boundaries effect). The shifting of the metal-insulator transition (TMI) to higher temperature was also responsible for observed changes in physical properties. TMI of 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C were 232 K, 278 K and 298 K respectively however 1200°C was out of measurement range (higher than 300 K). In summary, CP900 with smaller grain size distribution (~200 nm) displayed the highest resistivity and MR% of -19.2% (at 80 K, 10 kG).

Zirconium diboride and silicon carbide are thought to have a low intrinsic sinterability due to their strong covalent bonds, low bulk and grain boundary diffusivities. ZrB2-SiC ceramic composites were prepared by a field assisted pressureless sintering process in the present work. The densification behavior and the effect of sintering temperature on microstructure and properties of sintered samples were studied. Pellets were in-situ formed by dry uniaxial pressing in the graphite die at a pressure of 50MPa for 3min and then sintered at a sintering temperature ranged from 1650 °C to 1950 °C with fixed heating rate and holding time. The current, voltage, temperature and displacement data were all collected by the real-time acquisition system. The bulk densities were determined by Archimedes method and the microstructure of samples was characterized by SEM. The onset of some measurable shrinkage of the green body was recorded at around 1400 °C regardless of the sintering temperature and significant shrinkage took place at higher temperature of around 1600 °C. For the sample sintered at 1950 °C, no shrinkage occurred after ~2min holding time. The relative density increased significantly with increasing temperatures and samples could be densified to a relative density of more than 99% at 1950 °C by the field assisted sintering process without obvious grain growth.

<p>Strontium Titanate (SrTiO<sub>3</sub>) with variation of sintering temperatures were prepared by co-precipitation methods. Sintering temperature were varied at 700<sup>o</sup>C, 800<sup>o</sup>C, and 900<sup>o</sup>C for 4 hours. SrTiO<sub>3</sub> samples were prepared by Strontium Nitrate and Titanium Tetrabutoxide. SrTiO<sub>3</sub> samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Resistance Capacitance Inductance (RCL) meter, and Sawyer Tower.  SEM images show that the sintering temperatures could affect the grain size of SrTiO<sub>3</sub>. In addition, crystal size of SrTiO<sub>3</sub> (110) affected by sintering temperature. The highest of dielectric constant is 137 on SrTiO<sub>3</sub> at sintering temperature of 900<sup>o</sup>C. Sawyer Tower curves confirmed that SrTiO3 has paraelectric property.</p><p>Keyword: Strontium Titanate, Co-precipitation, dielectrics constant, paraelectrics</p><p> </p>

In this work, alumina (Al2O3) ceramics were prepared using an environmentally friendly slip casting method. To this end, highly concentrated (70 wt.%) aqueous suspensions of alumina (Al2O3) were prepared with different amounts of the ammonium salt of a polycarboxylic acid, Dolapix CE 64, as an electrosteric dispersant. The stability of highly concentrated Al2O3 aqueous suspensions was monitored by viscosity measurements. Green bodies (ceramics before sintering) were obtained by pouring the stable Al2O3 aqueous suspensions into dry porous plaster molds. The obtained Al2O3 ceramic green bodies were sintered in the electric furnace. Analysis of the effect of three sintering parameters (sintering temperature, heating rate and holding time) on the density of alumina ceramics was performed using the response surface methodology (RSM), based on experimental data obtained according to Box–Behnken experimental design, using the software Design-Expert. From the statistical analysis, linear and nonlinear models with added first-order interaction were developed for prediction and optimization of density-dependent variables: sintering temperature, heating rate and holding time.

The precursor prepared by co-precipitation method was sintered at various temperatures to synthesize crystalline manganese tungstate (MnWO4). Sintered MnWO4 showed the best crystallinity at a sintering temperature of 800 °C. Rare earth ion (Dysprosium; Dy3+) was added when preparing the precursor to enhance the magnetic and luminescent properties of crystalline MnWO4 based on these sintering temperature conditions. As the amount of rare earth ions was changed, the magnetic and luminescent characteristics were enhanced; however, after 0.1 mol.%, the luminescent characteristics decreased due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. In addition, a composite was prepared by mixing MnWO4 powder, with enhanced magnetism and luminescence properties due to the addition of dysprosium, with epoxy. To one of the two prepared composites a magnetic field was applied to induce alignment of the MnWO4 particles. Aligned particles showed stronger luminescence than the composite sample prepared with unsorted particles. As a result of this, it was suggested that it can be used as phosphor and a photosensitizer by utilizing the magnetic and luminescent properties of the synthesized MnWO4 powder with the addition of rare earth ions.
