Well-developed, dense and fine-grained MgO–(Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 with 40 wt% MgO content (denoted as BST–MgO) bulk ceramics were fabricated by high-energy ball mechanochemical technique using a hybrid processing. Based on this technique, the fabrication temperature was as low as 1200 °C i.e., 200 °C lowe...
