Abstract

The phase transformation in Sr1−xBaxNb2O6 (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) ceramics was investigated. There is an intermediate transitive phase before forming the tungsten bronze phase at higher temperatures. The phase transformation from the intermediate type into tungsten bronze type is sluggish, affected principally by temperature. In the compositions rich in Ba (x > 0.672), Ba ions prefer to occupy the A2 sites rather than the A1 sites of the tungsten bronze structure. The percentages of vacancies in the A1 sites and A2 sites are no longer the same. With the increase of Ba, the vacancies in the A1 sites increase, whereas the vacancies in the A2 sites decrease.
