    Crystal structure of dielectric ceramics in the La(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3–BaTiO3 system
    (Cambridge University Press, 2011-01-31) Avdeev, M; Seabra, M; Ferreira, V
    The crystal structure of microwave dielectric ceramics in the (1 − x)La(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 (LMT)–xBaTiO3 (BT) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) system has been refined by Rietveld method using x-ray powder diffraction data. LMT and BT were found to form a solid solution in the whole compositional range. The increase of BaTiO3 content results in the following sequence of structure transformations of those solid solutions: P21/n (a−a−c+, B-site ordered) → Pbnm (a−a−c+) → I4/mcm (a0a0c−) → Pm3m (a0a0a0). These structural changes are related to the disappearance of B-site cation ordering (x > 0.1), in-phase tilting (x > 0.3), and antiphase tilting (x > 0.5), respectively. © Materials Research Society 2002
