Abstract

Impulse excitation is a suitable tool to determine the temperature dependence of Young’s modulus and to monitor the ferroelectric phase transition of unpoled barium titanate ceramics (tetragonal-to-cubic and vice versa). By measurement from room temperature to 200–300 °C and back, it is found that there is an elastic anomaly with a sharp minimum (at 120 °C during heating and 110 °C during cooling, with a completely reproducible hysteresis), below and above which Young’s modulus exhibits values of 40–50 GPa and up to 90 GPa, respectively, and damping changes abruptly from values of order 0.01 to less than 0.001.
