Abstrakt: Bi1 − xSr xFeO3 − x/2 (I), Bi1 − xSr xFe1 − xMn xO3 (II), and Bi1 − xCa xFe1 − xMn xO3 (III) solid solutions have been obtained. Their magnetization has been measured by X-ray and neutron diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. According to the Mössbauer spectroscopy data, iron ions are in the trivalent state in system I. Near the concentration x ≈ 0.2, rhombohedral distortions (sp. gr. R3 c) are transformed into tetragonal ( P4/ mmm). The symmetry of system II changes at x > 0.2 ( R3 c → R3 c), whereas orthorhombic distortions ( R3 c → Pbnm) arise in system III at x > 0.2. The magnetic structure is antiferromagnetic (of G type). The samples of systems II and III exhibit weak ferromagnetism at x > 0.2 due to the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
