Abstract
The research in this article focuses on the synthesis of Ce donated BaTiO3 needed to make a target for magnetron sputtering. Synthesis is BaTiO3 by sol-gel method with a certain concentration of a modifying additive of Ce. The process of the sol-gel method is considered and the obtained results are characterized. Additional termal treatment of the obtained samples was performed at TOC = 900OC in a muffle furnace in Ar / H2 medium and in a laboratory furnace in air. Physicochemical methods by XRD analysis and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the results obtained
