Abstract
The sample CaCd2Bi2Nb4O15 was synthesised by the standard ceramic method, starting from a mixture of oxides heated up to 1250°C. The chemical composition indicate that the oxide could have an Aurivillius or a substituted pyrochlore structure. The X-ray diffraction and IR spectra suggest a phase transition from pyrochlore, at -196°C, to Aurivillius at room temperature. The DSC analyses performed in the temperature range 20-400°C did not evidenced major phase transitions for the material.
