Abstract

The phase diagrams in the PbO-Nb2O5 system and the PbO-Ta2O5 system depict pyrochlore structure at certain molar ratios. Compositions Pb2Nb1.51Pb0.49O6.30 (1), Pb2Ta1.4Pb0.6O6.21 (2), and Pb2Ta1.25Pb0.75O6.57 (3) belonging to this family, are refined in the cubic space group Fd Fd(3) over bar m (Z = 8; lattice parameter 10.762(1), 10,744(1), 10.757(5) Angstrom, respectively) using the Rietveld refinement approach. The analyses suggest that the B-site is partially occupied by Pb leading to the general formula Pb-2(M2-yPby)O7-delta(0.0 < y < 0.8; M = Nb or Ta), There is an overall broadening observed in the X-ray peak widths in 1, 2, and 3 compared to the Pb-deficient parent phases. It is observed that the X-ray peak widths of 2 is broad, while 3 displays narrow peak widths. It is found via strain analysis that the line broadening observed correlates with the strain in the lattice, (C) 2001 Academic Press.
