Ceramic samples of the mixed system Ba2NaNb5(1-x)Ta5xO15 were investig
ated through dielectric and Raman scattering measurements. It was reve
aled that with the increase of x from 0 to 1, the ferroelectric Curie
point decreases from 833 K to about 40 K, whereas the ferroelastic pha
se transition point decreases from 573 k to the 250 K range.
