Abstract
According to both first principle and materials chemistry, an innovative method for fabricating Ca1-xSrx/TiO3 ceramics was investigated. Ca1-xSrxTiO3 was sintered at temperatures as low as 980 °C by adding 1.0 wt % Li2Si 2O5 without forming a grain boundary phase. It was considered that the sintering was promoted by self-accelerated diffusion due to the formation of point defects caused by doping with Li2Si 2O5. Consequently, a new concept of nonstoichiometrically activated sintering, which is enhanced by point defects without the help of a grain boundary phase, is systematically studied for the first time in the Ca1-xSrxTiO3-Li2Si2O 5 system.
