Method of preparing barium, titanium, zirconium oxide ferroelectric ceramic composition

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5738079
This patent describes a method for preparing a barium titanium zirconium oxide ferroelectric ceramic composition. It comprises reacting tetraalkyl titanate and tetraalkyl zirconate in appropriate amounts to produce (Ti{sub 1{minus}x}Zr{sub x}) alkoxide wherein 021 x {le} 0.25; reacting the (Ti{sub 1{minus}x}Sr{sub x}) alkoxide to form a two phase mixture of TiZrO{sub 4} and (Ti{sub 1{minus}s}Zr{sub s})O{sub 2}, wherein s is the solubility limit for ZrO{sub 2} in TiO{sub 2}; admixing the (Ti{sub 1{minus}s}Zr{sub s})O{sub 2} and TiZrO{sub 4} with a BaO precursor, the BaO precursor, (Ti{sub 1{minus}s}Zr{sub s})O{sub 2} and TiZrO{sub 4}; and heading the admixture for a period of time and at a sufficient temperature to produce Ba(Ti{sub 1{minus}x}Zr{sub x})O{sub 3} wherein 0 {lt} x {le} 0.25.
