The current study is to examine the effect of ultrasonication on the synthesis of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) powder. Ultrasonication and ball milling were performed using talc and magnesium oxide as starting precursors, followed by heat treatment to obtain forsterite. The X-ray diffraction results of the...
