Texture Development in Barium Titanate and PMN,PT Using Hexabarium 17-Titanate Heterotemplates

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY, Issue 1 2005

Bulk BaTiO3 ceramics with ,111,-texture have been prepared by the modified templated grain growth method, using platelike Ba6Ti17O40 particles as templates, and the mechanism of texture development is examined. The Ba6Ti17O40 particles induce the abnormal growth of BaTiO3 grains, and a structure similarity between {001} of Ba6Ti17O40 and {111} of BaTiO3 gives ,111,-texture to abnormally grown BaTiO3 grains. Thus, the ,111,-texture develops in the BaTiO3 matrix. The use of platelike Ba6Ti17O40 particles has been extended to a 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3,0.35PbTiO3 matrix, but the matrix phase is decomposed by extensive chemical reactions between the matrix and template phases.

Orientation and Phase Relationships between Titania Films and Polycrystalline BaTiO3 Substrates as Determined by Electron Backscatter Diffraction Mapping

Titania films have been grown on polycrystalline BaTiO3 (BTO) substrates at 700°C by pulsed laser deposition. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to determine grain orientations in the substrate before growth, and the phase and orientation of the supported films after growth. All BaTiO3 grains within 26° of (001) were covered by anatase films with an orientation relationship of (001)Anatase||(001)BTO and [100]Anatase||[100]BTO. Rutile with a variety of orientations grew on BaTiO3 grains with orientations closer to (110) and (111). EBSD mapping provides an efficient means for determining phase and orientation relationships of films over all orientation parameters. [source]


Intragranular Voids and dc Degradation in (CaO+MgO) Codoped BaTiO3 Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors

The microstructure of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) based on BaTiO3 and nickel electrode, have been analyzed using the scanning and the transmission electron microscopy. In order to investigate how MgO improves MLCC against dc degradation, both CaO doped and (CaO+MgO) codoped chips, pristine as well as highly accelerated life-tested, are studied. BaTiO3 grains are characterized by both the types I and II core shell structure, which is typical of MLCC exhibiting the X7R dielectric behavior. Intragranular voids are found in BaTiO3 grains in the vicinity of the electrode,dielectric interface. Void-containing grains are more frequently observed and voids are more abundant in (CaO+MgO) codoped chips than in CaO doped ones. Higher concentration of oxygen vacanciesis induced extrinsically from both MgO codoping and Ni diffusion into BaTiO3 grains along the electrode,dielectric interface during sintering. Such oxygen vacancies have reacted with both cation vacanciesandby an inverse Schottky defect reaction and condensed to form voids. This reaction requiring cation and oxygen vacancies in the stoichiometric BaTiO3 composition of 1:1:3 has significantly decreased the randomly distributed mobile oxygen vacancies, and contributes to improve against dc degradation.

Necessary Conditions for the Formation of {111} Twins in Barium Titanate

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 11 2000
Byoung-Ki Lee
The experimental conditions for {111} twin formation in BaTiO3 were investigated. When BaTiO3 compacts without excess TiO2 were sintered either in an oxidizing atmosphere (air) or in a reducing atmosphere (95N2,5H2), no {111} twins formed within the BaTiO3 grains and no abnormal grain growth occurred. In contrast, many {111} twins were present within the abnormally grown grains in the excess-TiO2 -containing BaTiO3 samples sintered in air, while no twins were observed in the excess-TiO2 -containing samples sintered in 95N2,5H2. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that excess TiO2 forms a Ba6Ti17O40 phase during sintering with the space group A2/a in air and a Ba6Ti17O40,x phase with the space group C in 95N2,5H2. It appears therefore that excess TiO2 and an oxidizing atmosphere are necessary for {111} twin formation in BaTiO3. These results may also indicate that the interface structure between BaTiO3 and Ba6Ti17O40 influences the twin formation. [source]
