“…Bismuth-based pyrochlores attract attention due to their dielectric properties, − mixed electronic–ionic conductivity, , photoluminescence properties, − and photocatalytic activity. − These properties proceed with both structural features ( A 2 B 2 O 6 O′) and complex tiered electron structures caused by the 6s 2 lone pair of Bi 3+ . The polarizability created by Bi 3+ , as well as the dopant atom distribution in the bismuth sublattice ( A 2 O′), predetermines the dielectric properties of the ceramics mainly. ,,− In the high-temperature region ( T ≥ 100–200 °C), mixed electronic–ionic conductivity is caused by the structural behavior of the host. − , In the pyrochlores, Bi 3+ promotes high electron mobility due to the cooperative action of the 6s and 6p orbitals, influencing the band structure, and provides the stereochemical activity and, as a result, photocatalytic properties. , In luminescent materials, Bi 3+ usually acts as a sensitizer ion, which changes the local crystal structure and transfers its excitation energy to the rare-earth (RE) ion in the matrix, efficiently increasing the photoluminescence intensity. , However, according to the data for the Bi 2– x Eu x Ti 2 O 7 and Bi 1.5– x M x Eu 0.5 Ti 2 O 7 ( M = Gd and Y) pyrochlore thin films, the maximum photoluminescence efficiency (PLE) is predetermined by the host band gap energy mainly. , In our previous work, the weak influence of Mg 2+ substitution in the host on luminescence properties for the Bi 1.6 Ho x Ti 2 O 7−δ and Bi 1.6 Mg 0.1 Ho x Ti 2 O 7−δ pyrochlores was determined. According to works, − Li + , as well as Bi 3+ , enhances the luminescence properties of the pyrochlores due to modification of the local crystal structure and creation of a charge imbalance compensated by the host material.…”
