Due to its endurance to ferroelectric fatigue, SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) has been ex
tensively investigated. We report here the synthesis of Sr1-xBaxBi2Ta2O9 (x
= 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0) using a solution-based route. The precursors used in
this work were the salts of strontium, barium, bismuth, and tantalum ethox
ide. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopic studies indicated the format
ion of complete solid solution system for Sr1-xBaxBi2Ta2O9. This material s
ystem may provide interesting properties relevant to microwave tuning and f
erroelectric memory applications, which are under investigation.
