Abstract

Stillwellite-like LaBGeO 5 exhibits promising pyroelectric properties that were observed for both single crystal and glass-ceramic textures. To increase pyroelectric coefficient in the room temperature range, it is worth trying to create stillwellite-like solid solutions diminishing ferroelectric phase transition point, T c. However such an attempt has been carried out only for LaBSiO 5 stillwellite doped with Pb(Ca)BPO 5. Taking into account the higher pyroelectric activity of LaBGeO 5 as compared to LaBSiO 5, in the present work existence of solid solutions in the LaBGeO 5–LaBSiO 5 and LaBGeO 5–Pb(Ca)BPO 5 systems was explored and T c composition dependency was determined. It can be supposed that compositions in the range LaBGe 0.2-0.4Si 0.8-0.6O 5 are good candidates to develop new high-effective pyroelectrics in form of ceramics, composites or textures.
