Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Phase Formation and Microstructure of Nd +3 Doped Pb(mg 1/3nb 2/3)o 3 Prepared by Sol-Gel Method(Springer Verlag, 2008) Şakar-Deliormanlı, Aylin; Polat, Mehmet; Çelik, Erdal; Şakar Deliormanlı, Aylin Müyesser; Polat, MehmetThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the rare earth element neodymium on the phase formation and microstructural development of relaxor ferroelectric lead magnesium niobate, Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)O 3 (PMN) system. Perovskite phase PMN powders were prepared using the sol - gel method and the effect of neodymium doping was investigated at different doping levels ranging from 0.1 mol% to 30 mol%. The precursors employed in the sol - gel process were lead (II) acetate, magnesium ethoxide, and niobium (V) ethoxide. All the experiments were performed at room temperature while the calcination temperatures ranged between 800 °C and 1,100 °C. Results showed that it was possible to obtain the pure perovskite phase at 950 °C using the sol - gel method. Nd +3 addition influenced the phase formation and microstructure of the multicomponent system. Pyrochlore was detected along with the perovskite phase above 10 mol% Nd. Results also demonstrated that grain size of the synthesized powders depended on the Nd +3 concentration.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Thermal Analysis and Microstructural Characterization of Ceramic Green Tapes Prepared by Aqueous Tape Casting(Springer Verlag, 2008) Şakar-Deliormanlı, Aylin; Çelik, Erdal; Polat, MehmetIn this study, aqueous lead magnesium niobate (PMN) slurry formulations were developed for tape casting using a poly(acrylic acid) - poly(ethylene) oxide comb polymer as the dispersant, nonionic acrylic latex as the binder phase and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as the wetting agent. Concentrated suspensions were cast onto a silicone-coated mylar film, and the effect of acrylic latex on deposition was investigated. Thermal analyses were performed to investigate the mass loss of the green tapes as a function of calcination temperature. Differential scanning calorimetric analyses were made under air and nitrogen atmospheres to investigate the binder distribution through the green tapes. Results showed that it is possible to prepare flexible, crack free PMN thick films using a proper slurry composition in the presence of acrylic latex binder, without using any plasticizer. Additionally, decomposing mechanisms of the acrylic based binder were essentially different in the two atmospheres.
