Bi<sub>2–<i>x</i></sub>Ca<sub><i>x</i></sub>Ir<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6+<i>y</i></sub> Pyrochlore Phases: Structure and Properties with Varied Ir Oxidation State from 3.9+ to 4.3+ Pyrochlore phases Bi<sub>2–<i>x</i></sub>Ca<sub><i>x</i></sub>Ir<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>O<sub><i>y</i></sub><sup>′</sup> with <i>x</i> from 0.0 to 1.0 have been evaluated based on Rietveld analysis of neutron diffraction data, electrical resistivity and thermopower data from 3 to 756 K, and magnetic susceptibility data from 3 to 298 K. The average Ir oxidation state is less than 4+ at low <i>x</i>, above 4+ for high <i>x</i>, and is very close to 4+ at <i>x</i> = 0.5. All samples show metallic properties with an electrical resistivity of ∼10<sup>–3</sup> Ω·cm at room temperature. For low <i>x</i>, the sign of the Seebeck coefficient is negative at low temperature but becomes positive at high temperature. For high <i>x</i>, the sign of the Seebeck coefficient is positive from 3 to 756 K. Magnetic measurements indicate no magnetic ordering down to 3 K for all values of <i>x</i>. All Bi is in its ideal position for all values of <i>x</i>, but much of the Ca is strongly displaced from the ideal A cation site. This displacement of Ca apparently only occurs when there is an adjacent vacancy at the O′ site. resistivity;site;756 K;Ir oxidation state;Seebeck coefficient;Bi;Varied Ir Oxidation State;Pyrochlore;neutron diffraction data 2017-04-05
