Effect of sintering time on the purity and morphology of LiTaO 3
Preparation of LiTaO 3 was done using the sol-gel method which is also known as the wet chemical technique. Thermal analysis (TG-DSC) of LiTaO 3 precursor was studied to determine an optimized heating temperature. LiTaO 3 was heated at 550 °C with different sintering time of 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. The...

| Summary: | Preparation of LiTaO 3 was done using the sol-gel method which is also known as the wet chemical technique. Thermal analysis (TG-DSC) of LiTaO 3 precursor was studied to determine an optimized heating temperature. LiTaO 3 was heated at 550 °C with different sintering time of 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. The formation of pure LiTaO 3 occurred during sintering time of 72 h which was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of pure LiTaO 3 was recorded using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Pure LiTaO 3 can only be formed at a longer heating time in order to complete the oxidation process. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications. |
