The effect of calcination temperatures (1000-1400 oC) on the phase formation and microstructure of barium strontium zirconate titanate [(Ba0.25Sr0.75)(Zr0.75Ti0.25)O3 ; BSZT] powders were investigated. BSZT powders were prepared and compared by the solid state reaction method and the combustion technique. The higher calcination temperatures increased the percentage of the perovskite phase, but decreased the lattice parameter a. The same crystallographic pure perovskite phase of BSZT powders, which were prepared via the combustion technique were detected above 1300 oC ; which was lower than the calcinations temperature of mixed oxide method by 50 oC. The TGA-DTA results corresponded to XRD investigation. The microstructure of BSZT powders, which were prepared using both techniques, exhibited an almost-spherical morphology and had a porous agglomerated form. The average particle sizes of BSZT powders prepared via the combustion technique (0.13-0.30 µm) and the solid state reaction method (0.18-0.38 µm) were increased with the increase of calcinations temperatures

The effect of calcination (1000-1400 oC) and sintering temperatures (1400-1600 oC) on the phase formation and microstructure of barium strontium zirconate titanate [(Ba0.25Sr0.75)(Zr0.75Ti0.25)O3; BSZT] ceramics were investigated. BSZT powders were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. Higher calcination temperatures increased the percentage of the perovskite phase, but decreased the lattice parameter a of BSZT powders. The pure perovskite phase of BSZT powders was detected above the calcination temperature of 1350 oC. The microstructure of BSZT powders exhibited an almost-spherical morphology and had a porous agglomerated form. The average particle size and the average grain size of the ceramics were increased with the increase of calcination and sintering temperatures. The highest density of the samples was 5.42 g/cm3 which was obtained from ceramic sintered at 1550 oC for 2 h.

In this work, the optimum conditions for the preparation of barium stannate titanate (Ba(Sn0.05Ti0.95)O3 ; BST5) ceramics by solid state reaction method were investigated. The samples were heated at calcination temperatures from 600 to 1200 oC for 4 h and sintering temperatures from 1250 to 1400 oC for 2 h. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to evaluate the optimum conditions for calcination. The phase formation was carried out by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The microstructure was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that, a high purity of perovskite powders were obtained with a calcinations temperature at 1200 oC. The percent of the perovskite phase and lattice parameter a were increased by increasing the calcination temperatures. The average particle size was increased from 0.6 to 1.0 µm when increasing the calcination temperatures from 600 to 1200 oC. A pure cubic perovskite phase was found in all the sintered samples. The average grain size is in the range of 1.2 to 43.3 µm when increasing of sintering temperatures from 1250 to 1400 oC. The maximum of density and dielectric constant was observed in a 1400 oC sintered pellet.

In this work, the effect of calcination temperatures on the microstructure and phase formation of Ba(Zr0.25Ti0.75)O3 (BZT) powders were investigated. The BZT powders were prepared via the solid state reaction method under various calcination temperatures. It was found that the second phases such as BaCO3, ZrO2, BaZrO3 and Ba2ZrO4 existed in samples with calcination temperature below 1200 oC. Homogeneity and a highly pure perovskite phase of the BZT powders were obtained with calcination condition at 1300 oC for 4 h. Lattice parameter a and the percentage of cubic perovskite phase tended to increase with increasing calcination temperatures. The TG-DTA results corresponded to the XRD investigation. The microstructures of calcined powders exhibited an almost-spherical morphology and had a porous agglomerated form in all samples. The average particle sizes were increased from 0.2 to 1.1mµ when calcination temperatures were increased from 800 to 1350 oC.

In this work, the ZnO-TiO2 mixed phase nanoparticles were prepared by solid state reaction method by using ZnO and TiO2 powder as precursors. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows a dominant phase of Zinc Orthotitanate (Zn2TiO4). The average particle size (58?18 nm) calculated by the analysing FESEM data closely matches with the particle size calculated by Scherrer?s equation. The calculated average particle size is significantly smaller than the previously published results of nanoparticles, prepared by same method. In the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) study the specific surface area of the nanoparticles was found as 8.78 m2/g which is similar to the surface area reported in this material prepared by mechanochemical method. The method which we report is simpler and cost effective unlike the previous reported.

The effect of firing temperatures on phase formation and microstructure of barium stannate titanate [Ba(Sn0.1Ti0.9)O3; BST10] ceramics were investigated. BST10 was synthesized via a combustion method, at various calcination and sintering temperatures. It was found that, a single perovskite of BST10 powders was obtained with a calcinations temperature of 1200 oC. The percent of the perovskite phase and the lattice parameter were increased with increasing calcination temperatures. The average particle size was increased from 0.48 to 1.69 µm by increasing the calcined temperature from 600 to 1200 oC. The average grain sizes were increased from 0.99 to 17.77 µm by increasing the sintering temperature from 1250 to 1450 oC. The maximum density and dielectric constant were observed in sintered samples at 1350 oC.

(Pb1-xSrx)TiO3 (PST) (x=0.25, 0.50) powders were synthesized by a mixed oxide solid-state reaction method under various calcination temperatures (600-1100oC). Powder samples were characterized using thermogravimetric (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), x–ray diffractrometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that a single-phase of PST for x=0.25 and 0.50 powders was successfully obtained with a calcination condition of 950 oC for 2 h with a heating/cooling rate of 5oC/min. The TGA-DTA results corresponded to the XRD investigation. The lattice parameter a increased whilst the lattice parameter c decreased with increasing calcination temperatures. The tetragonality of powders decreased with an increase of calcination temperatures. The average particle size of the powders increased with the increase of calcination temperature.

Relaxor ferroelectric 0.75PMN-0.25PT was synthesized by two-step solid state reaction method via columbite route. The final mixed and grinded compositions was calcined at 9200C for 2h and then sintered at 12000C for 6h. The XRD data show the perovskite phase of prepared material with reduced pyrochlore phase and the SEM micrographs shows the compact and dense grains. The dielectric measurement shows the temperature dependent nature having dielectric constant 13189.44 at Curie temperature (Tc).

Abstract The possibility to obtain of ceramic solid solution between barium titanate and lead magnesium niobate by two-step sintering technique through conventional solid-state reaction method has been investigated. In the first step MgNb2O6 has been synthesized. In the second step 0.95BaTiO3-0.05Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 has been obtained using MgNb2O6, PbO and BaTiO3. The two-step sintering technique is effective for the synthesized of 0.95BaTiO3-0.05Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics. Single-phase (pyrochlore-free) ceramics with perovskite phase were obtained.
