Abstract
The effect of grinding on the synthesis of LaAO$_3$ceramics was investigated. The mixture ground by plantary ball mill showed 70nm particle size (wet ball mill or unground=0.5 $\mu$m). Monophase LaAlO$_3$powders were formed when ground samples were heated at 100$0^{\circ}C$, however unground samples required temperatures above 130$0^{\circ}C$. Density of the ground samples sintered at 140$0^{\circ}C$ showed 98.3% of theoretical density (unground=93.5% at 150$0^{\circ}C$). Dielectric constant of the ground samples($\varepsilon$r=22.4) showed higher values than that of the unground samples($\varepsilon$r=20.32). Temperature coefficient of capacitance($\tau$$_{c}$) and dielectric loss (tan$\delta$) of the ground samples were similar to those of unground samples.s.
