Abstract
The Bi2TeO5 polar phase (sp.gr.Abm2) is found to be changed to centrosymmet ric orthorombic one in the result of a first-order phase transition. This f ully reversible transition is spread over the interval of 780-820 degrees C . Very strong dielectric relaxation at preceding temperatures is related wi th oxygen vacancies redistribution in the crystal lattice. Upper temperatur e phase is distinctive by its pronounced electric conductivity supposedly a nionic in nature.
