A series of compounds K x Ta y W 1-y O 3 with x = 0.30, 0.00 ≤ y ≤ 0.30 and x = 0.55, 0.00 ≤ y ≤ 0.10 were synthesized by conventional solid-state method. The samples were characterized using XRD and FTIR spectroscopy. X-ray powder patterns reveal that the samples with compositions x = 0.30, y ≤ 0.30 show hexagonal tungsten bronze (HTB) type phase and the samples with x = 0.55, 0.02 ≤ y ≤ 0.10 show a mixture of two phases (K-HTB and tetragonal potassium tungsten bronze, K-TTB). The samples of the system, K 0.30 Ta y W 1-y O 3 with 0.00 ≤ y ≤ 0.15 shows no significant change in the cell parameters. However, for the composition y > 0.15, the cell parameter a decreases and c increases with increasing Ta content, which may be explained by the ordering of Ta for y > 0.15 suggesting the transformation to another space group. The appearance of absorption peak in the infrared absorption spectra of K 0.3 Ta y W 1-y O 3, y > 0.10 samples indicate the transition to non-metallic phase.
