Mixtures xSrCO3 (1 – x)BaCO3 TiO2 (0 < x < 1) have been mechanically activated by high energy milling in order to promote the formation of mixed (Sr,Ba) carbonate that decomposes, in a single stage, at temperatures generally lower than for the corresponding physical mixtures. By annealing such milled mixtures at high temperatures (about 1000 °C), cubic solid solutions SrxBa(1-x)TiO3 are obtained (except at x = 0.1 where a tetragonal solid solution forms) whose lattice parameters decrease linearly with x. The enthalpy of solid solution formation changes with composition showing higher values in the x range between x = 0.2 and 0.5, where the reaction has been demonstrated to occur via the formation of Ba2TiO4. By contrast, the enthalpy values decrease for x > 0.5.

Abstract
Mixtures xSrCO3 (1 – x)BaCO3 TiO2 (0 < x < 1) have been mechanically activated by high energy milling in order to promote the formation of mixed (Sr,Ba) carbonate that decomposes, in a single stage, at temperatures generally lower than for the corresponding physical mixtures. By annealing such milled mixtures at high temperatures (about 1000 °C), cubic solid solutions SrxBa(1-x)TiO3 are obtained (except at x = 0.1 where a tetragonal solid solution forms) whose lattice parameters decrease linearly with x. The enthalpy of solid solution formation changes with composition showing higher values in the x range between x = 0.2 and 0.5, where the reaction has been demonstrated to occur via the formation of Ba2TiO4. By contrast, the enthalpy values decrease for x > 0.5.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
