Phase Composition and Microstructure of Ca1–3xLn2xTiO3 (Ln=La, Nd, Sm) Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ca1–3xLn2xTiO3 (Ln=La, Nd, Sm; x=0.13, 0.20) ceramics were investigated systematically to dicuss the influences of sintering temperature, compositions, Ln3+ ions on its sintering property, crystal structure and microstructure. The results show that the dense ceramics were obtained in the sintering temperature range of 1300~1350 °C and the relative density reached over 97%. Sintering temperature was 50~150 °C lower than previous reports. Single orthogonal perovskite structure phase was formed except that a little secondary phase Sm2Ti2O7 was detected by XRD analysis when x=0.20 and Ln=Sm. The growth pattern of Ca1–3xLn2xTiO3 grains was terracing growth.
