Abstract

Bulk crystallized PbTiO3 (PT) was the major crystalline phase in borate-based glass ceramics with starting composition 39PbO–1BaO–25TiO2–9.8Al2O3–1SiO2–24.2B2O3 (mol%). Crystallization of PT starts at ≥520 °C and the crystal size and c/a ratio of PT were approximately the same for all samples heat treated between 520 and 700 °C. Two transient unidentified phases were induced when crystallized between 520 and 650 °C. The first at 520 °C followed by a second at 550 °C. At >650 °C, PbTi3O7 was present in addition to PbTiO3. The electrical properties of glasses heat treated between 550–700 °C were investigated by fixed frequency capacitance measurements and impedance spectroscopy, IS. No permittivity maximum or Curie temperature, T c, for the PT phase was observed from fixed frequency capacitance measurements for glasses heat treated below 700 °C, however IS data analysis using electric modulus (M″) spectroscopy revealed the PT phase to have T c ∼480 and 440 °C for samples heat treated at ∼550 and 700 °C, respectively. The conductivity of the PT phase and the dc conductivity of the glass heat treated at 700 °C were significantly higher than those of glasses heat treated at lower temperatures suggesting there is significant compositional differences between the glass heat treated at 700 °C compared to those treated at ≤650 °C.
