The perovskite BiInO 3 can be prepared using high-pressure synthesis. At room temperature, it has Pna2 1

Question:

The perovskite BiInO3 can be prepared using high-pressure synthesis. At room temperature, it has Pna21 space-group symmetry, with an SHG signal 120–140 times that of αquartz. Upon heating, no phase transitions occur until it decomposes into In2O3 and Bi25 InO39 at 873 K. Based on this information, what can you say about the potential of BiInO3 for application as

(a) A pyroelectric,

(b) A ferroelectric,

(c) A piezoelectric?

(d) How would you expect the dielectric constant to change upon heating?
