Özet
t 0.5 wt. % B2O3–doped Ba(Ti1-xZrx)O3, (x=0-0.4) lead-free ceramics were synthesized using the solid-state
reaction method by adopting the ball milling technique. The influence of the substitution content on crystallographic
structure, phase transition, microstructure and sintering behavior of BT and BZT ceramics were investigated. XRD
analysis at room temperature revealed a structural transformation from tetragonal to rhombohedral with
enhancement of ZrO2 content in the barium titanate matrix. The scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive
X-ray spectroscopy was used to investigate the microstructure and surface morphology of the sintered samples. The
evolution of the Raman spectra was studied for various compositions, and the spectroscopic signature of the
corresponding phase was determined. Scanning Electron Microscope observations revealed enhanced
microstructural uniformity and retarded grain growth with increasing Zr content.
