Abstrakt: The minimum concentration of niobium to stabilize the fluorite-type f.c.c. phase in the Bi2O3–Nb2O5 oxide system at temperatures below 996 K was ascertained to be about 10 mol%. Thermal expansion, electrical conductivity and crystal lattice parameters of the Bi(Nb)O1.5+δ solid solutions decrease with increasing niobium content. Thermal expansion coefficients were calculated from the dilatometric data to be (10.314.5)×10−6 K−1 at temperatures in the range 300–700 K and (17.526.0)×10−6 K−1 at 700–1100 K. The conductivity of the Bi1− xNb xO1.5+δ ceramics is predominantly ionic. The p-type electronic transference numbers of the Bi(Nb)O1.5+δ solid solutions in air were determined to be less than 0.1. Annealing at temperatures below 900 K results in a sharp decrease in conductivity of the Bi1− xNb xO1.5+δ ceramics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
