β¦ Synopsis
Neodymium-modified bismuth titanate (BNT) powder with compositions of Bi 4-x Nd x Ti 3 O 12 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5 and 0.75) were prepared through a hydrolysis method. The influence of Nd addition on the powder characteristics, sintering, microstructure and properties were investigated. It was found that the absorption band of Ti-O stretching vibration at 589 cm -1 was shifted to a higher wave number in the IR spectra, and the sintering as well as grain growth was significantly retarded. The Curie temperature, dielectric loss and Curie peak intensity were steadily decreased with an increase in Nd concentration, and the dielectric constant and loss tangent became much less dependent on temperature and frequency. At the same time, the polarization properties of the material were greatly improved.

Pure and Bi-doped samples of SrTiO: with Sr/Ti ratios ranging from 0.980 to 1.010 were sintered in air at 1500 Β°C. Grain growth was promoted in the non-stoichiometric bismuth-doped compositions. Unlike the non-doped samples which were ohmic insulators, bismuth-containing specimens showed non-ohmic b
The effects of excess PbO on the preparation process of modified lead-calcium titanate ceramics were studied. The sintering period were divided into two stages: the initial sintering stage and the grain growth stage, at which the temperatures were chosen to be 980 and 1000 8C, respectively. In this
