| Summary: | Abstract A new solid solution Bi1.56-xCaxSb1.48Co0.96O7-δ (0≤x≤0.3) with a pyrochlore-like structure (A2B2O7) was synthesized in air by chemical solid-state reaction. The solution crystallized in the cubic system with the Fd-3m space group. A regular decrease of the lattice parameter was observed when calcium replaced bismuth in the A site. The electric measurements showed that the electrical conductivity increased with the temperature and that high values of relative permittivity and dielectric loss were put in evidence. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility indicated a paramagnetic behavior of the samples with an effective moment included between 4.81 and 5.12 μB and at a low temperature para-ferromagnetic transition was observed for fractions x= 0.2 and 0.3. |
