Abstract

BaPbl-xBixO3 phases with 0.6⋚ x⋚ 1.0 were synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements show that all compositions are in single phase. Linear variation of lattice parameter is observed in BaPb1-xBixO3 with change in x indicating the random distribution of Pb in Bi sites. The activation energies for conduction of phases with x=0.8−0.6 obtained from ρ −T plots are same suggesting that the band gap does not change for compositions with x-0.8−0.6. The low activation energy obtained for BaBiO3 can be attributed to the structure of the compound. S versus (1000/T) data of x=1.0−0.8 exhibit a two-slope behavior. The orthorhombic to cubic phase transition could be the possible reason for the high power factor values of BaBiO3.
