Fabrication, phase, microstructure and electrical properties of BNT-doped (Sr,La)TiO3 ceramics
This research studied the effects of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) doping on the phase, density, microstructure and electrical properties of (Sr,La)TiO3 (SLTO) ceramics. Separately calcined SLTO and BNT powders were mixed together to form (1-x)SLTO-xBNT (where x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07 mol fraction) c...
