A new pyrochlore solid solution, Bi1.5-xCuNb1.5+xO7+x has been synthesized using conventional solid state method. The synthesized ceramic samples were fired at 925ºC and their phase purities were analyzed using Shimadzu XRD-6000, X-ray powder diffractometer. The refinement process was performed usi...
