Description

A series of perovskite BaTb1-xBixO3 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) solid solutions were synthesized by a typical solid-state method. Their structures were analyzed by a combination of X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and selected-area electron diffraction. All of the materials crystalize in the P1 space group [a = 6.0582(1) Aa, b = 6.0473(1) Aa, c = 6.0693(1) Aa, α = 60.00(1) , β = 59.84(1) , γ = 60.06(1) for x = 0.0 at room temperature]. Magnetic measurements revealed that the magnetic-ordering temperature decreases with increasing Bi content in BaTb1-xBixO3; therefore, the presence of Bi decreases the magnetic interactions of Tb. Furthermore, the magnetic structure for BaTb1-xBixO3 has been fully described in space group P1. (copyright 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
