Popis: In this paper, the synthesis conditions for fabrication of Bi1−xNdxFeO3 (for x = 0.6–1) ceramics are reported. The mixed oxide method was employed for the ceramics' fabrication. Bi1−xNdxFeO3 ceramics were prepared from simple oxide powders Bi2O3, Nd2O3 and Fe2O3. The goal of this study was to investigate the way the fabrication process influences prepared powders and samples of Bi1−xNdxFeO3 as microstructure and structure. For this reason, samples were characterized using various techniques. X-ray diffraction study was carried out for phase determination and lattice parameter calculations. Scanning electron microscopy and Mossbauer spectroscopy were used as complementary methods to study the structure and hyperfine interactions of the samples.
