Abstract:

The title compounds were prepared by sintering of the stoichiometric amounts of the oxides of the constituent elements at 820 °C in air. X-ray powder diffraction examinations revealed that the polar R3c phase in the Bi_1-xR_xFeO₃ systems with R = Er, Tm and Yb do not exceed 7, 4 and 3 mol.% of rare earth, respectively. Partial substitution of the Bi sites by Er and Tm in BiFeO₃ reduces the temperature of the ferroelectric phase transition R3c–Pbnm on 30–60 K.
