Abstract

Plate-like Bi₄Ti₃O₁₅ (BiT) particles were synthesized by molten salt synthesis method and grain oriented BiT ceramics were successfully prepared through gelcasting under a magnetic field. A notable change was observed in the peak intensities of the (111), (200), (020) and (220) planes of the samples that are cut paralel and perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. A drastic change was also observed in the microstructure where the plate-like BiT particles were found to align parallel to the magnetic field direction.
