Abstract :
The authors present the preliminary results of a study of the defect chemistry of barium titanium niobate (BTN) and Ba6-1.5xLaxTi2Nb8O30 (BLTN). A preliminary model for the defect chemistry of BLTN is presented, and the trends in conductivity with composition, temperature, and p02 are shown, for sintered compacts of BLTN with lanthanum content from 0% to 20%. The major lattice defects in these compositions are tentatively identified, and an estimate of the thermal bandgap is derived
