As-sintered and subsequently ground barium titanate ceramics have been examined by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their relative permittivity determined. A compressive residual stress of ∼316MPa parallel to the surface is found in the near surface region of the ground samples. A ferroelectric domain texture with the polar axis normal to the sample surface is developed...
