ABSTRACTBarium titanate ceramics have been obtained by sol-gel methods. The dielectric investigations of these materials revealed the existence of diffuse ferroelectric transitions. By using a phenomenological model, we could demonstrate the existence of a simple relationship between the diffuse character of the transition and the sample grain-size. This effect has been attributed to interactions between charged defects on the grain surfaces and the spontaneous polarization of the material.

Ho ion solubility and diffusivity were evaluated in barium titanate ceramics in which Ho ions were implanted with an accelerating voltage of 500 keV. The depth profile of the ions was composed of three regions in the post-annealed sample: the first was the precipitation region, the second was a region created by lattice diffusion of Ho ions, and the third was a region created by grain-boundary diffusion. The Ho lattice diffusion characteristics were similar to those of Ni ion diffusion in barium titanate ceramics, and we concluded that the diffusion mechanism was the same as that responsible for Ni ions. The Ho ions diffused through the B-site (Ti-site) and were then exchanged with A-site ions. This mechanism suggests that a small number of Ho ions dissolved in the B-site. Preferential grain-boundary diffusion was also observed. The grain-boundary diffusion coefficients were four to five orders of magnitude larger than the volume diffusion coefficients. The solubility of Ho ions was estimated to be a few thousand parts per million in barium titanate ceramics.

In this study, 0.8 KNbO3(KN) -0.2 BaTiO3(BT) ceramics were prepared using KN powder with the diameter of 100 nm and BT powders with the diameter of 100, 300, or 500 nm. The relative densities were more than 96 % of the theoretical densities of the samples. The dielectric constant of the samples was temperature-stable at temperatures between-50 and 300 °C and it was found that the dielectric constant of the 0.8KN-0.2BT ceramics increased as the BT diameter increased.

Barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics with grain size varied from 1000 to 8 nm were prepared by two step sintering method (TSS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS), respectively. Mixture structures of BaTiO3 ceramics were proved by in-situ temperature high resolution x-ray diffraction. Multiple ferroelectric domains present in nano-crystalline BaTiO3 ceramics were observed by transmission electron microscope. The evolution of phase transitions supported the existence of intrinsic mechanism. Dielectric loss of fine grain size BaTiO3 was higher than coarse grain size during Curie phase transition due to diffuse phase transition and grain boundary effects.

AbstractIn this paper, three BaTiO3 powders of various particle size distributions were obtained as a result of mechanical activation in the mixer mill. Green barium titanate pellets and cylindrical specimens were fabricated by both uniaxial and isostatic pressing methods. As a result of the application of different maximal sintering temperatures, the obtained materials were characterized by various average grain sizes: 0.8 μm, 20 μm and 31.0 μm. The basic properties of sintered pellets and cylinders were determined and the influence of materials average grain size on their Young’s modulus and compressive strength were determined through compression tests in a uniaxial testing machine, Zwick/Roell Z100. The elastic properties were similar for tested materials with a different grain size. However, the microstructure of BaTiO3 strongly influenced the compressive strength.
