Abstract

A Bi2O3 compound which is unknown to date has been synthesized at 800 °C on a BeO substrate. α-Bi2O3 at 800 °C undergoes a phase transition to a metastable new compound named ω-Bi2O3 which in turn transforms to stable δ-Bi2O3 at 900 °C. X-ray powder diffraction data were collected, indexed, and refined in order to obtain a unit cell (probable space group P1¯: a=7.2688(4), b=8.6390(6), c=11.9698(8) Å, α=87.713(6), β=93.227(6), γ =86.653(4)°. This compound is of interest for the thick films circuits and sensors technology.
