Reply to the - Abstract
This response mainly deals with the scientific description of the comments on the structural analysis of the Bi(Co0.5Ti0.5)O3–BiFeO3 solid-solution as discussed in our publications (published compound; RSC Adv., 2018, 8, 36939). The newly developed cobalt and titanium modified BiFeO3[i.e., Bi(Co0.40Ti0.40Fe0.20)O3] solid solution was synthesized via simple cost effective solid-state technique, and numerous sets of studies (structural, elemental, electrical, leakage current, multiferroic and other properties) were investigated and reported. The ingredients Bi2O3, CoO, TiO2 and Fe2O3are taken stoichiometrically to create a single-phase solid solution/ compound. However, in the commented published article, the formation of the structural equation is unethical and inconsistent. The analysis, lacking additional characterizations, holds no scientific value.
