Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of High-Pressure LixNa1-xTayNb1-yO3Solid Solution Perovskite Ceramics

2012

The effects of the temperature of synthesis and component concentration on microstructure of high-pressure LixNa1-xTayNb1-yO3 solid solution perovskite ceramics (х = 0.12, 0.17; у = 0; у ≥ 0.5) were studied. Original results of elastic properties of high-pressure LixNa1-xTayNb1-yO3 (х = 0.17; 0 ≤ у ≤ 0.5) solid solutions measured by contact probe techniques are reported. The observed decrease of the modulus of elasticity with increasing the sintering temperature of Li0,17Na0,83TayNb1-yO3 solid solutions is assumed to be related to conditions of re-crystallisation of disordered solid solutions at synthesis under high pressure.
