Abstract: Barium titanate (BaTiO3) fine particles were prepared using the 2-step thermal decomposition method of barium titanyl oxalate. At the 2nd step of this method, the intermediate compound (Ba2Ti2O5·CO3) was decomposed into BaTiO3 and CO2 under various degrees of vacuum pressure. As a result, the particle size of prepared BaTiO3 nanoparticles decreased with decreasing pressure. Moreover, the dielectric constants of these BaTiO3 nanoparticles were measured using the powder dielectric measurement method using slurry. The dielectric constant of BaTiO3 nanoparticles increased with decreasing pressure at the same particle size. It is considered that mesoscopic particle structure controlled by vacuum pressure is important for the dielectric properties of BaTiO3 nanoparticles.

Abstract: Barium titanate (BaTiO3) fine particles were prepared using the 3-step thermal decomposition method of barium titanyl oxalate under various vacuum atmospheres. In this method, the first two steps prepared BaTiO3 nanoparticles with 30 nm, and at the 3rd step, BaTiO3 nanoparticles were heat-treated at various temperature and degree of vacuum. As a result, as degree of vacuum is high, particle size of BaTiO3 fine particles decreased. Moreover, the dielectric constant of BaTiO3 fine particles was measured using the powder dielectric measurement method with slurry. The dielectric constant of these particles showed the dielectric maximum of 4,320 at 200 nm despite degree of vacuum. This result revealed that degree of vacuum during particle growth of BaTiO3 particles had no relation about dielectric constant.
