Barium strontium titanate nano powders were prepared by mixing ethanol solution of tetrabutyl titanate with an aqueous solution of Ba(OH)2•8H2O and Sr(OH)2•8H2O with a certain molar ratio of barium to strontium at 40°C-95°C. The products were characterized by thermogravimetry (TG), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results show that the powders prepared with the reactant concentration of 0.8M are spherical in particle shape with the grain size of 50nm-65nm. When the annealing temperature of the powders is higher than 906°C, the hydroxyl groups existed in barium strontium titanate lattice are removed. XRD analysis demonstrate that the as-prepared powders are cubic phase. All the diffraction peaks are shifted towards higher diffraction angles and the lattice parameter a calculated decreases linearly with serial decrease of the molar ratio of barium to strontium.

The influence of mechanical activation on the formation, sintering kinetics and morphology was investigated in sintered barium strontium titanate (BST) ceramics with different Ba-to-Sr ratios. Initial powders were mechanically activated for 20 and 120 min, leading to mechano-chemical reaction and formation of BaxSr1-xTiO3 phases. Agglomeration was found to represent an important factor in the process of formation of BaxSr1-xTiO3 phases around 800?C and during sintering. It reduces the effectiveness of mechanical activation on formation of BaxSr1-xTiO3 phases beyond the short period (20 min), while in the process of sintering, prolonged mechanical activation (120 min) leads to a significant reduction in sintering temperature and the corresponding value of activation energy. In addition, all three systems show a phase transformation around 1100?C, attributed to the hexagonal-to-cubic phase transition. Morphology of the final sintered ceramics can be correlated primarily with the state of the pre-sintered powder, where mechanically activated powders with smaller particle size produced more compact and less porous final product.

Barium strontium titanate ( Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3) or BST thin films on quartz substrates have been prepared by using a modified sol-gel processing technique. The starting materials are barium 2-ethylhexanoate Ba[CH 3( CH 2)3 CH(C 2 H 5) CO 2]2, strontium 2-ethylhexanoate Sr[CH 3( CH 2)3 CH(C 2 H 5) CO 2]2 and titanium (IV) isopropoxide Ti[CH 3 CH 3 CHO ]4. The precursors Ti[CH 3 CH 3 CHO ]4 except were synthesized in the laboratory. Transparent and crack-free films were fabricated on quartz substrates by spin coating. The as-fired films were found to be amorphous, which crystallized to cubic phase after annealing at 550°C in air for 1 hr. In this paper, we report the structural and optical properties of BST thin films prepared by the modified sol-gel process.
