BaTi1−xSnxO3 Solid Solutions: Solid-Phase and Sol-Gel Syntheses and Characterization

Ba(Ti1−xSnx)O3 solid solutions were synthesized by the sol-gel process and solid-phase reactions, and their electrophysical properties studied. SnCl4 · 5H2O, TiCl4, and BaCO3 were precursors in the sol-gel process. IR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and differential thermal analysis were used to study the formation conditions for BaTiO3, BaSnO3, and BaTi0.85Sn0.15O3.
