X-ray powder diffraction study of the thermal behavior of barium titanium citrate hydrate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 January 2013
Abstract
The thermal decomposition of barium bis(citrato)oxotitanate citrate heptahydrate, a molecular precursor of BaTiO3 fine powders is studied by temperature-dependent x-ray powder diffraction and thermogravimetry. A thorough investigation of the dehydration stage is presented. Three crystalline phases containing seven, three, and two water molecules, respectively, are identified from their powder diffraction pattern. The results of pattern indexing are presented and discussed in terms of parameter relationships.
