A well-ordered, perovskite-related, Bi1-xCaxFeIIIO3-x/2 solid solution phase is synthesized via a rapid liquid phase sintering technique and shown to exist over the composition range ∼0.200.30) was set to 990 C, as per Khomchenko et. al.12 For compositions within the continuous Bi1-xCaxFeIIIO3-x/2, ∼0.2
