Abstract:
The structure and dielectric properties of (Bi

7-based ceramics with Bi
3+ substituted by La
3+ were investigated.(Bi

7samples were prepared by conventional method.The X-ray diffraction and SEM were used to analyze the microstructure.The La-doped samples held primarily pyrochlore single-phase on the whole field, and its stable range was determined by the tolerance factor (
RA/
RB values).With the increase of amount of La
3+ substitution, crystal cell parameters showed a trend from ascent to descent.The dielectric properties varied with the microstructure.The dielectric properties of BLZNT-
x samples exhibited as:
ε=130~170,tan
δ=0.35-0.9×10
-3at 1 MHz,and the frequency characteristics at high end (>100kHz) were optimized through the La-doping.
