Lead-Free Aurivillius Phase BiLaNbMnO: Structure, Ferroelectric, Magnetic, and Magnetodielectric Effects.

Aurivillius phase BiLaNbMnO, derived from ferroelectric PbBiNbO by simultaneous substitution of the -site and -site cations, was synthesized using a molten-salt method. Here, we discuss the structure-property relationships in detail. X-ray and neutron diffraction show that BiLaNbMnO adopts an 2 orthorhombic crystal structure.
