Abstract
This report details development of a route to solution-derived (1-x)Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3·xBaTiO3 powders. The method developed was the citrate-gel method - an evaporative, aqueous technique. When applied to 0.95Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3·0.05BaTiO3 (BNBT-5), the method produced perovskite phase powders that readily densified in the temperature range of 1000°C. The grain size of the sintered materials was on the order of 1 μm, and the weak-field dielectric properties at 1 MHz were similar to those reported for conventionally prepared materials sintered at higher temperatures (e.g., 1200°C).
