Abstract
Microstructure, electrical properties and dielectric behaviour of KNaNbO (KNN) and CaTiO-modified KNaNbO (CTO-KNN) systems, were investigated. Discs doped with 0 to 0·55% mol of CaTiO (CTO) were sintered at 1125°C for 2 h. Although minority phases were found in doped samples, CaTiO was not detected. It was also observed that CTO changed the microstructure and grain size of KNN drastically. Also, the Curie temperature and permittivity values decreased. Addition of CTO between 0·15 and 0·45 mol% decreases the density and dielectric values. Samples prepared with higher content of CTO than 0·45 mol% showed better electrical properties.
