The cobalt and titanium modified BiFeO [, Bi(CoTiFe)O; referred to as BCTF80/20] solid solution was synthesized a simple and cost effective solid-state technique, and numerous sets of studies (structural, elemental, electrical, leakage current, multiferroic and other properties) were carried out and reported. The basic structural symmetry was investigated and phase identification of the prepared samples was carried out by analyzing powder X-ray diffraction data through the widely used "POWDMULT" software. From the XRD pattern [Fig.

Structural, electrical, and multiferroic characteristics of lead-free multiferroic: Bi(CoTi)O-BiFeO solid solution.

A solid solution of bismuth cobalt titanate [Bi(CoTi)O] and bismuth ferrite (BiFeO) with a composition Bi(CoTiFe)O (abbreviated as BCTF80/20) was synthesized a cost effective solid-state technique. Phase identification and basic structural symmetry of the samples were determined by analyzing powder X-ray diffraction data. Field emission scanning electron micrograph (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra were analyzed to evaluate the micro-structural aspects (shape and size, distribution of grains) as well as a quantitative evaluation of the sample.
