Abstract
The influence of Sb doping on the grain growth in BaTiO3 is examined. After equilibrating below the eutectic temperature of small amount of liquid phase, samples were heated up to a sintering temperature above the eutectic point. The nucleation at lower sintering temperature in Sb-doped samples started earlier than in non doped samples. The nucleation rate increased with increasing sintering temperature. Sb doping and increasing sintering temperature lead to uniform microstructure and smaller average grain size. Due to the higher nucleation rate, increasing sintering temperature also leads to narrower grain size distributions.
