Abstract
Bi2/3Ln4/3Ti2O7 (Ln: La, Nd, Eu, Ho, Yb) pyrochlores are synthesized by solid state reaction of stoichiometric mixtures of Bi2O3, TiO2, and Ln2O3 (900, 1000, and 1100 °C, 48 h each) and characterized by powder XRD. The presence of six-fold disorder, associated with the Bi 6s2 lone pair electrons, is believed to stabilize the unexpected stoichiometry. © 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
