Abstract

In this paper we are presenting a unique analysis from SEM (scanning electron microscope) of a materials for the first time. No such literature is available in the scientific domain. Here we are presenting quantitative parameters of the sem micrographs in terms of aspect ratio, roundedness, distribution profile of grains, surface profile, deviation etc. So far, only the morphology, agglomeration, presence of secondary phases etc. have been reported by several researchers from the scanning electron microscopic studies. Here, it is an opportunity to present a different kind of study of (Ba0.77Ca0.23)(Re0.02Ti0.98)O3 ceramics for Re= Pr, Dy, La, prepared by mixed oxide route from the same characterization in a unconventional way.
