Subsolidus solution and electrical properties of Sr-substituted bismuth magnesium niobate pyrochlores
Here we investigated the structural and dielectric properties of (Bi3.36Mg0.64-xSrx)(Mg1.28Nb2.72)O13.76 (0≤ x≤0.5) subsolidus solution. Sr-substituted bismuth magnesium niobate (BMSN) pyrochlores were prepared by solid-state reaction at 1025 °C over 1–2 days. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confir...

Here we investigated the structural and dielectric properties of (Bi3.36Mg0.64-xSrx)(Mg1.28Nb2.72)O13.76 (0≤ x≤0.5) subsolidus solution.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the BMSN pyrochlores crystallise in cubic symmetry, space group Fd3m with lattice parameters in the range 10.5968 (4)-10.5671 (17) Å.
