The eutectic and solidus temperatures of the PbTiO 3 ‐KF binary system were investigated by DTA for four compositions. Optical studies of crystal habit as a function of crystallization conditions were used to determine favorable conditions for growing PbTiO 3 crystals from a KF flux. Results of X‐ray studies of these crystals agree closely with those of earlier studies. Interferometric measurements of thermal expansion confirmed the ferroelectric transition at 490° C. Specific heat studies indicated a transition energy of about 1550 cal/mole with an entropy change of 2.055 cal/mole °C. Spontaneous polarization was calculated as 66 μcoulombs/cm 2 .
