Abstract
The BIZNVOX solid solution domain, stable at room temperature, has been det ermined. alpha-, beta- and gamma -type compounds can be stabilized dependin g on the x and y values of the general Bi-2(V1 - x - yZnxBiy)O-z formula. T he alpha- and beta -type phases exhibit incommensurate modulations studied by X-ray powder diffraction. The lock-in of their wave vectors on the three -fold and two-fold superstructures of the undoped alpha- and beta -Bi4V2O11 , respectively, is clearly evidenced. SAEDand HREM observations reveal very complex disorder correlated with the attractive oxide ion conductivity of these materials.
