CBN crystals show a one- and a two-dimensionally modulated modification. The former is isotypic with orthorhombic Ba4Na2Nb10O30and the latter with the tetragonal tungsten bronze type of crystal structure. The orthorhombic form irreversibly transforms to the tetragonal polymorph at the ferroelectric phase transition near 603 K. Orthorhombic and tetragonal CBN24 slightly differ in the distribution of the Ba and Ca atoms over the incompletely filled Me1 and Me2 sites. The tetragonal symmetry is further broken in orthorhombic CBN24 by different amplitudes of the positional modulations of O atoms which are symmetrically equivalent in the TTB structure. A similar orthorhombic phase of CBN31 could be obtained by quenching from 1473 K.

In this work, Sr4La2Ti4Nb6O30 ceramics with tetragonal filled tungsten bronze structure were prepared, and the dielectric characteristics and ferroelectric transition were investigated. The room-temperature dielectric constant of the present ceramics showed very weak frequency dependency; it decreased from 570.4 to 561.7 when the frequency varied from 200 Hz to 1 MHz, and a comparatively low-dielectric loss was observed (in the order of 10−3). Unlike the situation for Ba4Ln2Ti4Nb6O30 (Ln = La, Nd and Sm), Sr4La2Ti4Nb6O30 ceramics showed a diffuse ferroelectric phase transition, and the diffuseness exponent γ was 1.61. Moreover, the obvious frequency dispersion was observed over a broad frequency range from 200 Hz to 1 MHz, and the maximum dielectric constant temperature Tmax shifted to higher temperatures with increasing frequency. The dielectric data agreed closely with the Vogel–Fulcher relationship. We concluded that tungsten bronze Sr4La2Ti4Nb6O30 has the relaxor ferroelectric nature.
