Abstract
(111) twins are found frequently in the microstructure of BaTiO3 ceramics prepared by the mixed‐oxide technique. The processing steps by which the (111) twins are formed are in question. A BaCO3‐TiO2 powder mixture is milled and then Calcined at 1100°C for 2 h, where BaTiO3 is formed by the release of CO2. After the powder is calcined, it is analyzed by TEM. Image and diffraction pattern data are combined to prove the presence of (111) twins in powder particles; the formation of (111) twins occurred frequently during calcination. The formation mechanism of such twins and their role during anomalous grain growth are discussed.Keywords
