Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the CaTiSiO5-Fe2TiO5 system. Ca1 − x TiSi1 − x Fe2x O5 solid solutions were prepared by low-temperature plasma synthesis in a hydrogen-oxygen flame. The CaTiSiO5-Fe2TiO5 system contains two phases of variable composition: α (monoclinic structure) and β (orthorhombic structure). We have determined the homogeneity ranges, unit-cell parameters, and electrical parameters of the synthesized solid solutions. The Ca and Si in CaTiSiO5 can be replaced by Fe3+. Fe3+ substitution increases the conductivity of the material by up to five orders of magnitude.
