Abstract
The structure of the Bi-doped pyrochlore, Bi0.5Nd1.5Ru2O7 has been studied between 20 and 300 K using powder synchrotron diffraction methods. The stru cture shows an abupt change in the Bi(Nd)-O and and Ru-O contacts near 200 K as a consequence of a metal-semiconductor transition. There is a marked h ysteresis in the structural parameters upon rewarming the sample. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
