Abstrakt: Bi4–xNdxTi3O12 (x = 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6) bismuth neodymium titanate solid solutions have been prepared by solid-state reactions, via firing of mixtures of their constituent oxides in air at temperatures from 1003 to 1323 K. The crystal structure of the synthesized phases has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The results demonstrate that increasing the neodymium concentration leads to a morphotropic phase transition from the orthorhombic structure (sp. gr. B2cb) of the parent phase Bi4Ti3O12 (which persists at x = 0.4 and 0.8) to a tetragonal structure (sp. gr. P42/ncm) at x = 1.2 and 1.6. The heat capacity of the synthesized bismuth neodymium titanate samples has been determined by differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range 320–1000 K. The Cp(T) curves of the Bi4– xNdxTi3O12 samples with x = 0.4 and 0.8 have been shown to have extrema due to their ferroelectric phase transition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
