Preparation of complex oxides in the form of powders and thin films from
metal alkoxides is discussed. Most attention is paid to ferroelectric and
related materials ‐ complex titanates and zirconates. Techniques for
preparation of high‐purity morphologically homogeneous powders
Ti2, ZrO2 barium titanate and
BaTiO3‐based solid solutions, MgTiO3,
Bi2WO6, Bi2MoO6 are proposed
and discussed wilh respect to their application in ceramics technology. The
solutions prepared electrochemically in methoxyethanol were widely used for
formation of thin films, e.g. Y2O3‐stabilized
ZrO2 and ρζγ solid solutions on Pt‐coated silicon
substrates.
