Investigation of structural and dielectric properties of subsolidus bismuth iron niobate pyrochlores
Subsolidus Bi3.36Fe2.08+xNb2.56−xO14.56−x (BFN) pyrochlores prepared by solid-state reaction at 950°C over 48 h showed a moderate solid solution range of −0.24 ≤ x ≤ 0.48. As to preserve the overall charge electroneutrality of the system, the doping mechanism was proposed to be a one-to-one substitu...

Subsolidus Bi3.36Fe2.08+xNb2.56−xO14.56−x (BFN) pyrochlores prepared by solid-state reaction at 950°C over 48 h showed a moderate solid solution range of −0.24 ≤ x ≤ 0.48. As to preserve the overall charge electroneutrality of the system, the doping mechanism was proposed to be a one-to-one substitution of Nb5+ by Fe3+ together with oxygen non-stoichiometry, i.e. Nb5+ ↔ Fe3+ − O2–. BFN pyrochlores crystallized in a cubic symmetry, space group Fd$$\bar{3}$$m (No. 227), Z = 4 and their refined lattice constants were found to be in the range 10.5071 (4)–10.5107 (7) Å.
