Аннотация:New reduced niobates, CaLnNb(2)O(7), Ln = La-Pr, Sm, Gd-Lu, with the pyrochlore-type structure were synthesized in sealed Nb ampoules at 1350-1500 degrees C for 6-10 h. The prepared compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. The magnetic measurements showed that all of the samples except the La, Sm, and Lu compounds exhibited Curie-Weiss behavior. The compounds were found to be electrically insulating.
