Synthesis and characterization of rare-earth doped SrBi2Nb2O9 phase in lithium borate based nanocrystallized glasses

This figure shows the XRD patterns at room temperature for the as-quenched and heat treated samples in Sm2O3-doped (x=0.1) glass. Based on these results, it is concluded that the formation of samarium-doped perovskite SBN phase takes place via an intermediate fluorite-like phase in the crystallization of this glass.
