Characterization of highly-oriented ferroelectric Pb_xBa_(1-x)TiO_3 [PDF]
Pb_xBa_(1-x)TiO_3 (0.2 ≾ x ≾ 1) thin films were deposited on single-crystal MgO as well as amorphous Si_3N_4/Si substrates using biaxially textured MgO buffer templates, grown by ion beam-assisted deposition (IBAD).

Elastic, dielectric and electromechanical properties of (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-BaTiO3 piezoceramics at the morphotropic phase boundary region [PDF]
A systematic study of the functional properties of the (1-x)(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3–xBaTiO3 (BNT-xBT) piezoceramic system for 0.05 = x = 0.07 is performed. The samples are obtained through the conventional solid-state route.

Lead-free textured piezoceramics using tape casting: A review
In this review, the evolution of textured lead-free piezoceramics has been explored, primarily focusing on the technique of templated grain growth (TGG) and reactive-templated grain growth (RTGG), as an alternative to single crystals.
