Rl. Withers et H. Rossell, A TEM STUDY OF RHOMBOHEDRAL BETA-TYPE SOLID-SOLUTIONS IN THE BI2O3-SRO AND BI2O3-CAO SYSTEMS, Journal of solid state chemistry, 118(1), 1995, pp. 66-73
Specimens within the (1 - x)BiO1.5 . xMO (M = Sr, Ca) rhombohedral bet
a type solid solution fields have been synthesized and studied via TEM
and powder XRD. Two distinct, fully three-dimensionally ordered, tric
linic superstructure phases have been found for both the M = Sr and M
= Ca systems. The first, S1, occurs for low x specimens whereas the se
cond, S2, occurs for somewhat higher x specimens. In the case of the M
= Sr system, a further incommensurately modulated (although somewhat
disordered) superstructure phase was also found for x = 0.25. (C) 1995
