This paper reports that La[sub 2]Ti[sub 2]O[sub 7] powders are prepared using three different techniques. Single-phase material is obtained at 1150[degrees] C by calcination of mixed oxides, at 1000[degrees] C by molten salt synthesis, and at 850[degrees] C by evaporative decomposition of solutions. Particle sizes and morphologies of the powders differ substantially as does the sintered microstructures and dielectric properties. Very dense (99%), translucent, grain-oriented lanthanum titanate is fabricated by hot-forging at 1300[degrees] C under a 200-kg load. Anisotropy is demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermal expansion, and dielectric measurements.
