Barium titanate (BaTiO₃) ultrafine powders have been prepared from a monomeric metallo-organic precursor through combined solid-state polymerization and pyrolysis. The ultrafine Mn²⁺ doped BaTiO₃ powder samples with an average grain size varying from 15 nm to 155 nm were studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR) techniques. The determined quantities such as grain size, unit cell deformation c/a⁻¹, the axial fine structure (FS) parameter D, the distribution width of the latter, and the EPR intensity ratio of cubic and tetragonal Mn²⁺ sites are used to develop a more comprehensive insight in small particles.
