Popis: Sol–gel derived Sr x Ba 1- x Nb 2 O 6 (SBN) powders were prepared at an annealing temperature of 1200°C. Their structural changes were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Changes in the peak position and the relative intensity of the Raman spectra and X-ray patterns were examined for different values of x . Our results suggest that the SBN powders consist of a mixture of orthorhombic phase BaNb 2 O 6 (BN) and tetragonal tungsten-bronze phase (TTB) SBN powders for x 2 O 6 (SN) and TTB phase SBN powders for x >0·5. Pure TTB type SBN powders with x ≠0·5, however, were obtained at higher annealing temperatures. A possible formation route of the sol–gel derived SBN powder is discussed.
