Low temperature perovskite phase formation in PCT 90/10 system by modified chemical route

Perovskite phase development study of PCT 90/10 system was carried out. Modified chemical technique was used for synthesis. Single perovskite phase with a polycrystalline tetragonal structure was obtained in PCT 90/10 ceramic system at 600 °C processing temperature. Dense packing of grains with average grain size ∼1 μm was observed in PCT 90/10 ceramic samples. Curie transition temperature (Tc) of PCT 90/10 ceramic samples was found to be ∼180 °C with diffuse phase transition.
