A metastable perovskite ${\text{BiFe}}_{0.5}$${\text{Sc}}_{0.5}$${\text{O}}_{3}$ synthesized under high-pressure (6 GPa) and high-temperature (1500 K) conditions was obtained in two different polymorphs, antipolar $Pnma$ and polar $Ima2$, through an irreversible behavior under a heating/cooling thermal cycling. The $Ima2$ phase represents an original type of a canted ferroelectric structure where Bi${}^{3+}$ cations exhibit …
