Abstract
A series of new compounds, Ba1-xR2x/3Nb2O6 (R=Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er) with tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure were synthesized. For Ba-R-Nb-O system, single phase TTB was obtained when X=0·25. To understand the formation condition of these TTB type compounds, two tolerance factors for TTB, tA1 and tA2, were proposed against the coordination polyhedra around A1 and A2 site cations, respectively. One of the factors was at least a requisition to stabilize crystal structure for all TTB type compounds. Ba1-xR2x/3Nb2O6 showed ferroelectric characteristics and the Curie temperature, Tc, increased as the decrease of the ionic radius of rare earth cations. These new compounds have potential to be candidates to apply ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM).
