Abstract

Microwave energy has been used in a novel processing method. The relationship between processing, structure and properties of sol-gel-derived potassium niobate sol as well as thin films has been investigated. A comparison has been established between microwave and conventional heating for drying, calcining and crystallizing sol-gel-derived samples. Structural and phase changes were monitored by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and x-ray diffraction (XRD).
