Abstract
Mechanical activation synthesis of Na 0.5K 0.5NbO 3 (NKN) was studied in order to explore the effect of mechanochemical interaction on the crystal structure and microstructure of NKN powder and ceramic. A single phase, nanocrystalline perovskite NKN powder has been derived from a mixture of oxide/carbonates via a mechanical activation route with heating at an elevated temperature. With the increase in milling time, the distortion of orthorhombic structure for NKN was weakened and the cell volume of NKN powder slightly decreased. The relative density and remnant polarization of NKN ceramics were improved, and the grain became uniform and smaller for prolonged milling NKN. The developed method is well suited for the production of NKN nanocrystallite powders and refined grain NKN ceramics.
