Abstract
Strontium bismuth niobate (SBN) is a ferroelectric material. This research reports the effects of the total replacement of bismuth in SBN by the rare-earth element, samarium. X-ray-diffraction measurement with Rietveld analysis shows that the tetragonal crystal structure of SBN is essentially retained but is distorted to an orthorhombic form. The new phase shows a ferromagnetic response in addition to its inherent ferroelectric property at room temperature. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
