Abstract: Barium strontium titanate (BST), which has a typical perovskite-type structure, shows excellent electrical properties. BST powders were synthesized by heating mixtures of commercial reagents with an excess of TiO2 in molten salts of KOH and KNO3, and the sintering behavior of the resulting powders was evaluated. The sample with the highest density of 95% was obtained by sintering of the BST powders.

Abstract: The synthesis of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) powders was attempted using KOH-KNO3 molten salt. Single-phase BST powders could not be obtained when stoichiometric powders were regardless of the molten salt composition. Only when powders with excessive TiO2 were used, single-phase BST powders were obtained. The shape and aggregation state of the single-phase BST powder changed according to the heating temperature and the molten salt composition.

Abstract: Ba1-xSrxTiO3 ceramic (BST) was one of the promising materials applied in phased array antennas due to its excellent dielectric properties. Ba1-xSrxTiO3 ceramic was prepared by traditional solid state reactions. Effects of different amount of ZrO2 as additive upon the dielectric properties of BST were investigated. The analyzed results showed that, as the amount of ZrO2 increasing, the dielectric constant and temperature dependence of dielectric constant of this ceramic both decreased, while its dielectric tunability kept high value.
