The Influence of the Firing Temperatures on the Phase Evolution, Microstructure, Dielectric and Strain Responses of BCTS Ceramics Prepared by the Solid State Combustion Technique
Abstract:In this report, the influence of the firing temperatures on the phase evolution, microstructure, dielectric and strain responses of (Ba0.945Ca0.055)(Ti0.91Sn0.09)O3 (BCTS) lead‐free piezoelectric ceramics is investigated. BCTS ceramics are prepared with the solid state combustion technique with glycine as the fuel. Pure BCTS powders, with a perovskite structure, are obtained by calcining at 1150 °C for 2 h. The particle morphology of the BCTS powders exhibits a rounded shape and large agglomerated forms in all… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
