Abstract

Bi2VO5.5 (Bi4V2O11), which is the vanadium analog of the first member of the Aurivillius family of oxides of the general formula Bi2An–1 BnO3n+3, has been prepared and characterized. The vanadate has the expected layered structure and is ferroelectric with a Curie temperature of 720 K. While we have not been able to synthesize the vanadium analog of the n = 2 member of the Aurivillius family, we have examined the structure and properties of a vanadate of the composition Bi2V3O9.
