Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The ceramics Ce0.9Bi0.1O2–δ was obtained by solid-phase synthesis. It is shown that the obtained samples possess a cubic fluorite structure with the space symmetry group Fm3m. The electrical properties of the solid solution Ce0.9Bi0.1O2–δ solid solution were investigated by means of ac impedance spectrometry. The activation energy of electric conduction falls into two regions – 0.51 eV (400 – 680°C) and 1.6 eV (680 – 800°C); dielectric relaxation is activated at 0.88 eV.
