| Abstract: | Grain size is important in the barium titanate ceramics used as capacitors and thermistors. Normally this is controlled by chemical additives and firing schedules, but growth twins also lead to increased grain size. Seeding experiments described in this paper demonstrate how the twins can be used to produce large-grained BaTiO3 ceramics. |
