Abstract

Sol-gel synthesis of transitional metal oxides is one of the important technique to obtain the pure and homogenous materials at low temperature. In this work, Barium strontium titantate (BST) was synthesized by sol-gel processing using 2,4-pentadionate as the precursors of metal oxides. The Ba1−xSrxTiO3 was prepared for four values of x i.e. 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6. The obtained powders were heated from 400 °C to 800 °C at the interval of 100 °C to determine the temperature of crystallization. The phase of the final products was investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Two particle sizes (< 100 nm and 200-400 nm) were observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM) of the heat treated xerogel. The dielectric properties were determined by impedance analyzer at the frequency of 1MHz and explained in detail for the different values of x.
