Lone pair cations like Bi3+ and Pb2+ allow for asymmetric coordination environments which can be used to create crystallographic shear planes in perovskite structures. Shear planes involve shifting one part of the structure relative to the other. This results in a new class of anion-deficient perovskite structures called the AnBnO3n-2 homologous series. Unlike other homologous series, these structures have electrically and magnetically active interfaces between perovskite blocks, resulting in frustrated magnetic structures. The orientation and spacing of shear planes can be controlled through composition.
7. This gives us perovskite based crystallographic
shear plane structures.
8. Shear plane structures were known in
other compounds ,but were believed
to be impossible in perovskites.

We can vary orientation...

...by playing with the ratio lone pair
to non lone pair cations
higher Pb:Sr
lower Pb:Sr
10. Pb2+:Bi3+=7:0.5
We can vary the distance between the interfaces...
Pb2+:Bi3+=7:3
Pb2+:Bi3+= 7:5 Pb2+:Bi3+= 7:8
