Abstract Thermal stable solid solutions of titanates, niobates, and tantalates of bismuth with a pyrochlore structure doped with 3d-metal atoms were studied using XPS and NEXAFS spectroscopy. Based on spectral studies, it was shown that the manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper atoms in these solid solutions have mainly charge state +2 and iron atoms – charge state +3.
