(YCa)(TiMn)O ceramics prepared using a reaction-sintering process were investigated. Without any calcination involved, the mixture of raw materials was pressed and sintered directly. Y₂Ti₂O₇ instead of YTiO₃ formed when a mixture of Y₂O₃ and TiO₂ with Y/Ti ratio 1/1 were sintered in air.

In this paper, the effects of the electrical proper- ties of CuO-doped (Na(0.5)K(0.5))NbO(3) (NKN) ceramics prepared separately using the B-site oxide precursor method (BO method) and conventional mixed-oxide method (MO method) on high-power piezoelectric transformers (PTs) were investigated.
