Abstract

The structure and dielectric properties of Bi2O3–ZnO–Nb2O5-based ceramics with pyrochlore–fluorite biphase structure were investigated. Mixed-sintered ceramics were prepared by two precalcined constituents in the system of x[Bi1.5Zn0.5(Zn0.5Nb1.5)O7]−(1 − x)Bi3/4Nb1/4O7/4 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.35), where Bi1.5Zn0.5(Zn0.5Nb1.5)O7 is a cubic pyrochlore (α) and Bi3/4Nb1/4O7/4 is a defect cubic fluorite (F). The phase composition of the mixed-sintered ceramics were characterized as a biphasic structure with a distorted pyrochlore (β) and a fluorite (F) coexisting. The phase ratio of β pyrochlore and F fluorite is related to the chemical composition x. The dielectric properties of the ceramics gradually change with their structure.
