Can uhsed barium titanate improve grain size and density?

Given the capability to finely control the ramp and dwell temperatures, as well as the duration of UHS, it is highly possible to be able to further refine the grain size and density of UHSed barium titanate to tailor its grain-size dependent dielectric properties. Fig. 8.

Does barium titanate have tetragonal phase splitting?

The results revealed the presence of pure barium titanate (PDF#79-2263), with no significant tetragonal phase splitting features observed between the 2 θ angles of 44° and 46°. Instead, a single peak of the pseudocubic phase was observed, which can be attributed to the diffusion of additives into the grains.

Can ultrafast high-temperature sintering rapidly densify barium titanate ceramics?

Application of Ultrafast High-temperature Sintering (UHS) technique to rapidly densify barium titanate ceramics has been explored for the first time. Bulk ceramic with ~94% density was obtained by UHS at ~1340 °C for 60 seconds. The densification process was accompanied with progressive sample discolouration from light to dark grey.

Why is calcium a dopant in barium titanate?

Calcium is a commonly used dopant in the barium titanate system due to its excellent solid solubility, forming (Ba 1-x Ca x)TiO 3 (BCT). Mitsui et al. discovered that the temperature stability of the dielectric constant is improved and widened when BCT with high calcium content is in the tetragonal phase.

Can barium titanate be uniformly densified with UHS?

As such, with a carefully managed profile, it would still be possible to uniformly densify thicker pieces of barium titanate with UHS, if the temperature is kept below the critical temperature, or sufficient time is allowed via ramping up to bring the sample to a uniform temperature before exceeding 1320 °C.

Does oxygen vacancy cause discolouration in barium titanate?

This behaviour has also been seen in barium titanate sintered via flash spark-plasma-sintering technique by Manière et al. . The results confirm that the discolouration and the large dielectric constant in the grey coloured ceramics are due to the presence of oxygen vacancy.
