This work is aimed at synthesizing lead zinc niobate powders which consist of pyrochlore phases by modified solid-state reaction via a rapid vibro-milling in difference three synthesis routes: mixed oxide precursor (PZN-M) , columbite precuresor (PZN-C) and lead niobate precuresor (PZN-P). It involves the fabrication of PZN powder and study of phase formation and local structural environment of Zn ions by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) techniques that compared the amount of pyrochlore phases with perovskite phase.
