Abstract
Crystals of the ferroelectric compound (Nd4Ca 2)Ti6O20 have been synthesized for the first time by flux method. The most suitable flux is PbO and the starting oxides were either reacted or unreacted stoichiometric mixtures. The crystals obtained were of good quality with dimensions of 10×1×1 mm. Crystallographic analyses performed on the crystals show that they are twinned, with monoclinic symmetry, space group P1121, and are likely to have the physical properties for electric applications.
