Lead-based relaxor ferroelectrics such as Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN), Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PZN), and their solid solutions with BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 have been prepared by a solution combustion process which involves metal nitrates/oxalate and tetraformal trisazine (TFTA) at 350 °C. Thermal evolution of perovskite relaxors has been investigated at different temperatures of calcination using the powder x-ray diffraction method. Particles are fine and sinter-active at low temperature (1050 °C). Both particulate and dielectric properties are compared.
