Structural properties of BZT are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. It was observed that the ball milling operation has a significant influence on sintering temperature. Single-phase BZT was obtained under sintering conditions at 1350 degrees C. XRD and Rietveld refinement studies revealed that BZT composition has a cubic structure with a space group of Pm-3m(#221). As estimated by the Scherrer formula, the average crystallite size was determined as 79.2 nm for sintering temperature at 1350 degrees C.EnglishBAZRXTI1-XO3TEMPERATUREArticle
