“…The preparation process of pure Pb(Fe 0.5 Nb 0.5 )O 3 (PFN) powder is described in our previous work. 11 Prior to the preparation of BFO-containing compositions, all starting oxides were pre-milled in absolute ethanol using a planetary ball mill (Retsch PM400, Retsch, Haan, Germany) at 200 min À1 for 4-6 h or an attrition mill (Netzsch, PE075/PR01, Selb, Germany) at 500 min À1 for 6-8 h. In all cases, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) milling balls with a diameter of 3 mm were used. All stoichiometric mixtures of starting oxides (40 g) were homogenized in a planetary ball mill at 200 min À1 for 4 h in absolute ethanol using YSZ milling balls (ball diameters 3 mm).…”
