Phase Relations in Ba_{𝟔−𝟑𝑥}Ln_{𝟖+𝟐𝑥}Ti₁₈O₅₄ (Ln = Nd & Sm) Electroceramics

Figure 2

(a) SEM backscatter image and matching EPMA surface elemental mapping for (b) Ba, (c) Sm, and (d) Ti content for the A10-60 sample revealing the Ba- and Ti-rich secondary phase contained within the A10-60 sample. Brighter contrast in (b), (c), and (d) indicates a higher proportion of that element in comparison with darker areas.
