Abstract

In the Li2O-Nb2O5-TiO2 system, Li1+x-yNb1-x-3yTix+4yO3 (0.06 ≤ x ≤ 0.33, 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.09) (LNT) forms with a superstructure, which is the so-called M-phase. In this work, as a first step toward application of the unique qualities of an electro-ceramic with an anisotropic structure, we prepared an oriented LNT balk ceramic by slip casting in a strong magnetic field of 12 T. The direction of the magnetic field was parallel to the casting direction. The compact was densified by cold isostatic pressing and then heated at 1373 K. The obtained specimen was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope. Consequently, the c-axis of the LNT powders was aligned parallel to the magnetic field and a high orientation degree was achieved in a strong magnetic field of 12 T.
