Abstract

Lead‐magnesium niobate ceramics were processed with excess MgO and by precalcining MgO and Nb 2 O 5 . Transmission electron microscopy revealed sub‐micrometer MgO inclusions in the perovskite phase. The pyrochlore phase exists as submicrometer rectangular crystals in an amorphous PbO matrix. The composition of the pyrochlore phase was calculated to be Pb 2.25 Mg 0.27 Nb 1.79 O 7 .
