Introduction about Ph.D. work:
The main objective this work is the preparation and structural characterization of some important dielectric and ceramic materials. Five different doped BaTiO3 ceramic solid solutions viz., (i) Ba1-xSrxTiO3, (ii) BaTi1-xZrxO3 (iii) Ba1-x La2x/3TiO3 (iv) BaTi1-xCexO3 and (v) Ba1-xSrxTi0.9Zr0.1O3 have been synthesized by conventional high temperature solid state reaction method using tubular furnace.

The prepared samples have been characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and analyzed using the powder profile refinement technique by adapting the software JANA 2006, to examine the structural properties. Effects of various dopants (Sr, Zr, La, Ce and Sr & Zr (co-doping)) at the host lattice sites of BaTiO3 on the internal electronic structure, chemical bonding and charge density distribution have been examined through maximum entropy method (MEM) by using PRIMA and VESTA.

Optical band gap (Eg) values have been evaluated using UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis). Microstructure and surface morphology are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Elemental compositions of the prepared ceramic systems are studied qualitatively and quantitatively by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
