Abstract
Ceramics based on the ternary BaO-TiO2-R2O3 systems (R = rare earth, mostly La and Nd) are extensively used for manufacturing passive electronic components. Of particular interest are compositions in the vicinity of BaTiO3 which are used for preparation of (1) semiconductive electronic components with large positive temperature coefficient (PTCR), (2) highly temperature stable ceramic capacitors (''''NPO'''' type) and (3) high permitivitty microwave resonators.The electrical properties of ceramics strongly depend on their crystal structure, stoichiometry, grain size and phase composition. Microstructure, which develops during the sintering operation, depends above all on chemical reactions which ocurr at high temperatures. The aim of the project is to corrleate the phase equilibrium data and processing parameters (temperature and time) with electrical properties of ceramics. To achieve this goal, ternary systems must be determined and processing parameters optimised. The main issues will be, beside determination of phase equilibria in the systems BaO-TiO2-R2O3 (R = Ce, La, Nd), determination of kinetics and mechanism of densification and microstructure development. Electrical properties of optimised ceramics will be examined. It is expected that the results will contribute to the better knowledge of important phenomena in the fields of solid state chemistry and ceramics. At the same time, the results will be of interest for the manufacturers of ceramic electronic components. Results, achieved in 1998, were presented to professionals in publications, listed in bibliography of project leader and coworkers.
