Ys. Yoo et al., FABRICATION OF BATIO3 SINGLE-CRYSTALS BY USING THE EXAGGERATED GRAIN-GROWTH METHOD, Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 17(14), 1997, pp. 1725-1727
The exaggerated grain growth which can occur during the sintering of B
aTiO3 was implemented for the fabrication of single crystals. A very s
mall amount of SiO2 was placed on top of a BaTiO3 powder compact to fo
rm seed grains composed of twin lamellae. The seed grains continued to
grow without limit and single crystals of up to a few centimetres in
size were obtained. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
