The Aurivillius phases [Bi₂O₂][An−1BnO3n+1] are well-known ferroelectrics with high Curie temperatures TC. High-temperature piezoceramics Bi3−xGdxTiTaO₉ (BGdTTa, x= 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were prepared by a solid-state reaction method. The structural and electrophysical characteristics of BGdTTa ceramics have been studied. According to the data of powder X-ray diffraction, all the compounds are single-phase with the structures of two-layer Aurivillius phases (m = 2) with the orthorhombic crystal lattice (space group A2₁am). The temperature dependence of the relative permittivity 𝜀/𝜀0 (T) of the compounds was measured and showed that the Curie temperature TC of perovskite-like oxides Bi3−xGdxTiTaO₉ increases linearly with an increase in the substitution parameter x to TC = 925∘C. The activation energies of charge carriers have been found in different temperature ranges.The Aurivillius phases [Bi₂O₂][An−1BnO3n+1] are well-known ferroelectrics with high Curie temperatures TC.
