Abstract

BiAlO3, prepared under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions has a rhombohedral perovskite structure (R3c with a=5.3747(4) Å and c=13.391(1) Å) and decomposes around 550 ∘C to form the intermediate Bi2Al4O9 phase along with the Bi26−xAlxO40−y and Al2O3. Above 580 ∘C, the intermediate phase changes into the Bi26−xAlxO40−y. Dielectric measurements show an anomaly at the decomposition temperature and hysteresis at room temperature with a maximum polarization of ∼16 μC/cm2. Raman scattering measurements suggest softening of optical phonon modes, and are consistent with the occurrence of thermal decomposition of the rhombohedral phase to form the thermodynamically stable phase.
