Abstract
This work reports the synthesis of the MgNb2O6 and the ferroelectric
lead magnesium niobate Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (PMN) using fine precursor
powders obtained from a chemical Oxide Precursor Method (OPM). To obtain
pyrochlore-free PMN ceramics, the synthesis of the precursor MgNb2O6
powders was studied for 2-25 mol% excess of MgO and 10 mol% excess of
PbO. Structural and microstructural properties of the sintered ceramics
obtained by the cited method and by the classical columbite method were
studied and compared. Results lead to good quality, pyrochlore-free PMN
ceramic prepared by OPM, presenting greater grain size if compared with
ceramic prepared by columbite method.
