Ferroelectric ceramics have been prepared by the method of reactive sintering. The ceramics exhibit good ferroelectric properties with a remanent polarization and a coercive field MV/m. High resolution x-ray photoelectron spectra of the atomic constituents of were recorded. The obtained results indicate that oxygen vacancies are preferentially sited in the vicinity of Bi ions, in the layers.
