Abstract
A spheroid BaTiO3 with a diameter ca. 2Â mm was synthesized using a pressurized electrostatic levitation furnace. Phase selection was controlled by varying the superheating and undercooling. A polycrystalline perovskite BaTiO3 was crystallized from a homogeneous melt superheated by 150Â K and then undercooled by 750Â K (â¼0.4Â Tm), whereas a single crystal of hexagonal BaTiO3 was grown from a melt superheated by 50Â K and then undercooled by 100Â K. The polycrystalline perovskite BaTiO3 solidified from undercooled melt showed a high dielectric constant of 4000 at room temperature.
