Abstract

This paper describes the effect of oxygen partial pressure on Nb solubility in polycrystalline BaTiO3 at 1673 K. It was found that an increase of p(O2) in the gas phase results in an increased Nb solubility in BaTiO3. Annealing of polycrystalline BaTiO3, covered with a thin layer of NbCl5, in air at 1573 K results in Nb incorporation to the level of 0.1 at.% while annealing at the same temperature in nitrogen (involving 2% H2) does not lead to Nb incorporation into BaTiO3. The observed effect of p(O2) on Nb solubility in BaTiO3 is consistent with the defect disorder model of BaTiO3.
