We have synthesized samples in the system BaTi{sub 1-x}Fe{sub x}O{sub 3-x/2} with x=0.1-0.6 at temperatures of 1200-1300 deg. C under reducing conditions of oxygen fugacity. After drop quenching, samples were characterized using the electron microprobe, X-ray diffraction and Moessbauer spectroscopy. All samples were hexagonal with a 6H-BaTiO{sub 3} type structure. Moessbauer spectroscopy showed all iron to be present as Fe{sup 3+}, occurring in octahedral and pentahedral sites. Analysis of area ratios indicates that oxygen vacancies are distributed randomly over O1 sites, and that a random distribution of Fe and Ti cations over M1 and M2 sites is consistent with the data. No evidence for ordering of oxygen vacancies was found. Results are consistent with conductivity results, which show generally increasing ionic conductivity with increasing oxygen vacancy concentration.
