This PhD thesis presents experimental results from the synthesis, crystal structure and microwave dielectric characterization of BaO-rich phases within the BaO-Nb2O5 and BaONb2O5- WO3 system. I was primarily interested in two compounds with unknown crystal structure, i.e., the binary Ba4Nb2O9 and the ternary Ba6Nb2WO14, which lie on a common virtual …
The study presents the influence of increasing the amount of β-spodumene (LiAlSi2O6) as Li2O-content flux on phase composition, microstructural evolution and physical properties of high alumina porcelain material containing ~61% of Al2O3. New porcelain compositions based on clays and high amount of calcined alumina were developed with the introduction of …
