Abstract

The effect of template and matrix particle sizes on microstructure development was examined for BaBi4Ti4O15 textured by the templated grain growth method. Microstructure development was characterized by (1) the shape change of matrix particles from equiaxed to platelike, which resulted in texture development in the matrix phase, and (2) the formation of groups of large platelike grains with parallel alignment. The template particle size determined the size of grains in the final microstructure which was formed by process (2), and the matrix particle size influenced the rate of process (1).
