Pure and La – Ti co-substituted samples of BiFeO3 were prepared by a facile sol-gel method.
Structural phase transition was confirmed through Rietveld analysis.
XPS reveals that Fe exists in single oxidation state (+3) in Bi0.9La0.1Fe0.9Ti0.1O3.
An anomaly at the vicinity of Neel temperature (TN) was observed for all the samples.
