Avp. Rao et al., NANOCOMPOSITE VERSUS MONOPHASIC SYNTHESIS OF SM AND MN MODIFIED LEAD TITANATE, Ferroelectrics. Letters section, 21(5-6), 1996, pp. 141-150
Samarium and manganese modified lead titanate has been prepared by a n
anocomposite approach. Densification behavior of this precursor powder
was evaluated in comparision with modified lead titanate powder of th
e same composition derived from monophasic (sol-gel) processing method
. Better sinterability was obtained for powder processed from nanocomp
osite method as compared to monophasic gel powder.
