Popis: | Ca9.5–1.5xBixCd(VO4)7 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions with the whitlockite-type structure (SG R3c) were synthesized by a standard solid-state method in air. Structures of Ca9.5–1.5xBixCd(VO4)7 (x = 0.167, 0.5, 0.833) were refined by the Rietveld method from synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data. Nonlinear optical properties of the whitlockite-type compounds can be designed and increased by an order of magnitude through appropriate isovalent and aliovalent substitutions for Ca2+ cations. Dielectric and temperature second harmonic generation investigations revealed the presence of a reversible ferroelectric phase transition in the range from 1331 K to 1055 K. The phase transition temperature monotonically decreases while nonlinear optical activity of Ca9.5–1.5xBixCd(VO4)7 strongly increases with increasing Bi3+ content.
