摘要
A commensurate modulated structure of (1 - x)Bi2O3 center dot xFe(2)O(3) is found in the BiFeO3 ceramics synthesized by the rapid liquid-phase sintering method. Transmission electron microscopy studies show that the superstructure is based on fluorite-type delta-Bi2O3 and modulated probably by oxygen vacancy ordering. The existence of such a superstructure may increase the leakage current of BiFeO3 ceramics. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
