The microstructure of polycrystalline barium titanate as seen in polished and etched specimens is more complicated than that in the single crystal. The greater complexity is revealed in the form of a banded structure which is considered to be due to the stress configuration arising from mutual impingement of randomly oriented grains during the cubic‐tetragonal phase transformation.
