Abstract
The solubility of bismuth oxide in barium titanate was investigated by X-ra y diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Bismuth was added in two sc hemes: Ba1-xBixTiO3, where only site balance was considered, and Ba1-1.5yBi yTiO3, where both site balance and charge balance were considered. The solu bility limits of bismuth in BaTiO3 sintered samples for these two schemes a re slightly different, 3 and 3 at.%, respectively, at 1250 degrees C.
