This gel on decomposition at 600 degrees C yielded the nano crystallites of BaNb2O6, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction study (XRD). This is a much lower temperature as compared to that prepared by traditional solid state method (1000 degrees C) as reported for the formation of BaNb2O6. Transmission electron microscopic. (TEM) investigations revealed that the average particle size is 50 nm for the calcined powders. The room temperature dielectric constant at 1 kHz is found to be 1000. The ferroelectric hysteresis loop parameters of these samples were also studied.</p>10aCeramics10aChemical synthesis10aelectronic material10aferroelectricity10aOxides1 aGaikwad, S., P.1 aSamuel, V1 aPasricha, R1 aRavi, V  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/preparation-nanocrystalline-ferroelectric-banb2o6-citrate-gel-method-0
