Optical and electrical performance of translucent BaTiO₃-BaSnO₃ ceramics

Exciting news! A new article Optical and electrical performance of translucent BaTiO₃-BaSn_O3 ceramics has been accepted by the editors of the prestigious journal Ceramics International (2022 - Q1 - 91.4 percentile).

Our joint team of scientists from CEITEC BUT and FunGlass Centre has successfully analysed and tested translucent lead-free piezoceramic material BT-11BS (0.89BaTiO₃-0.11BaSnO₃),obtained unique properties of this specific material and described its characteristics under different sintering temperatures.
