The crystal structure of A2+(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3,(A2+=Sr2+ and Ca2+)ceramics was studied usig X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electrion microscopy(HRTEM). Ba(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (SMN) has the 1:2 ordered monoclinic structure which has the anti-phase tilt of octahedra. The type of tilting in SMN was considered to be a$^{\circ}$a$^{\circ}$c- or a­a­c$^{\circ}$ Ca(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (CMN) also has the 1:2 ordered monoclinic structure which was distorted by the anti-phase tilt or in-phsae tilt of octahedra. A unit cell containing both the in-phase tilt axis and anti-phase tilt axis was not observed in the CMN. Therefore CMN has the mixed phase consisting of the 1:2 ordered monoclinic phase with anti-phase tilt of octahedra and the one with in -phase tilt of ocatahedra,. The anti-parallel shift of cation was also observed in the CMN.

The microwave dielectric properties and their related structural characteristics in solid solutions of (1-x) $Ba(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ -x $La(Mg_{2/3}Nb_{1/3})O_3$ (BLMN) have been investigated by measuring the dielectric constant${\varepsilon}r)$, Q value and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency$({\tau}f)$ and by observing the crystal structure using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Microwave dielectric properties showed characteristic features for specific composition. Dielectric constant$({\varepsilon}r)$ showed maximum value at the composition which corresponds to the phase boundary between 1:2 ordered and 1:1 ordered structure. The increase in ${\varepsilon}_r$ may be caused by the rattling of ions by incorporating smaller ions and the disordered structure. The variation of temperature coefficient of resonant frequency${{\tau}_f)$ was investigated in terms of oxygen octahedra tilting.

The microwave dielectric properties and their related structural characteristics in solid solutions of (1-$\chi$) Ba($Mg_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$) $O_3$-$\chi$La(Mg$_{2/3}$Nb$_{1}$3) $O_3$(BLMN) have been investigated by measuring the dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r), Q value and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$f) and by observing the crystal structure using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Microwave dielectric properties showed characteristic features for specific composition. Dielectric constant($\varepsilon$$_{r}$) showed maximum value at the composition which corresponds to the phase boundary between 1 : 2 ordered and 1 : 1 ordered structure. The increase in $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ may be caused by the rattling of ions by incorporating smaller ions and the disordered structure. The variation of temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$$_{f}$) was investigated in terms of oxygen octahedra tilting.dra tilting.

Crystal structure of $(Ba_{1-x}La_x)[Mg_{(1+x)/3}Nb_{(2-x)/3}]O_3$ (BLMN) ceramics with $0{\leq}x{\leq}1$ was investigated using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). When La content, x, is above 0.1, the 1:2 ordered hexagonal structure found in $Ba(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ (BMN) was transformed into 1:1 ordered cubic structure. The 1:1 ordered cubic structure was maintained up to x=0.7. However, when x exceeded 0.7, BLMN was transformed 1:1 ordered structure which has cation displacement and in-phase and anti-phase tilt of octahedra.

Crystal structure of $(Ba-{1-x}La_x)[Mg_\frac{1+x}{3}}Nb_\frac{{2-x}{3}}]O_3$ (BLMN) ceramics with 0\leq1x \geq was investigated using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high reso(B $a_{l-x}$L $a_{x}$)[M $g_{(1+x)}$3/N $b_{(2-x)/3}$］ $O_3$lution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). When the La content, x, is above 0.1, the 1:2 ordered hexagonal structure found in Ba($Mg_\frac{1}{3}Nb_\frac{2}{3}})O_3$(BMN) was transformed into 1:1 ordered cubic structure. The 1:1 ordered cubic structure was maintained up to x=0.7. When x exceeded 0.7, however, BLMN was transformed into 1:1 ordered structure which has cation displacement and in-phase and anti-phase tilt of octahedra.

The structure refinements and the electrical and magnetoelectric measurements were performed for BIT.1BF and BIT.2BT. The tetragonal distortion of the ab plane became lessened with the addition of $4BiFeO_3 into Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ significantly. However, the tilting of the outer-oxygen octahedra of the perovskite unit and the elongatin of the $(Bi_2O_2)^{2+}$ layers became more pronounced. For the both phases, the bariations of dielectric properties and electrical conductivities at high temperatures showed that the ferroelectic I-rerroelectric II phase transition existed before reaching the Curie temperature. The electrical conductivity became higher with the increase of $Fe^{3+}$ ions, implying that the electron transfer increased correspondingly. The magnetoelectric effect was observed linear up to ~8 kOe, which was stronger in BIT.1BF than BIT.2BF. This behavior indicates that the distortion of the ab plane may affect the induced polarization as well as magnetic moment.
