Abstract

The xBiFeO 3–(1 − x)PbTiO 3 solid solution is nowadays one of the most promising multiferroic systems. However, the obtaining of single phases with a high crystallinity is difficult by the conventional methods. In this work, the mechanochemical method has been optimized, testing different parameters in the reaction to obtain the suitable conditions of synthesis. The investigated parameters were: the atmosphere conditions and the material of the reaction medium. Single phases with compositions belonging to the whole system (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been obtained, being the mechanochemical reaction with tungsten carbide vessel the best synthesis medium. The structural characterization of the obtained powders has been carried out by XRD and microstructures of powdered samples have been studied by SEM and TEM.
