Abstract
A gel was formed when an aqueous solution of BaCl2, SrCl 2, NbF5 and citric acid in stoichiometric ratio is heated on a water bath. This gel on decomposition at 700 °C yielded the nanocrystallites of ternary oxide, Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb 2O6 (SBN) as confirmed by X-ray diffraction study (XRD). Particle size and morphology was studied by transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM). The room temperature dielectric constant at 1 kHz is 1000. The ferroelectric hysteresis loop parameters of these samples were also studied by a home built Sawyer-Tower circuit.
