Synthesis and properties of Sc- and Mg-doped bismuth titanates with the pyrochlore structure

详细

Scandium(Magnesium)-containing bismuth titanates with the pyrochlore structure have been synthesized for the first time. Their homogeneity range has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electronic microscopy. Scandium and magnesium distribution over the cationic positions has been studied. Electrophysical properties of single-phase compounds have been studied. The total conductivity of the compounds is a function of magnesium (scandium) and bismuth concentrations.
