The synthesis and functional characterization of dense bulk nanometric oxides are
reviewed, with particular emphasis on the modifications that a grain size in the low …

Due to the wide range of applications of ceramics, interest in investigating all the parameters
that influence the properties of these materials has constantly been on the increase. In the …

The bulk dense nanocrystalline BaTiO3 (BT) ceramics ranging from 20 to 100 nm have been
successfully prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. Raman spectra and X …

Grain size effects on the dielectric properties of BaTiO 3 nanoceramics have been studied by
using the modified Ginsburg-Landau-Devonshire (GLD) thermodynamic theory. Considering …

The dense nanocrystalline BaTiO3 ceramics with the average grain size of 30nm was
sintered by the pressure assisted method. The Raman spectroscopy and the Rietveld …
