Abstract

The present work report synthesis of four-layer Aurivillius compound with systematic replacement of A-site Bi\(^{3+}\) cation via La\(^{3+}\). Four-layer Aurivillius structure and phase purity is confirmed by x-ray diffraction measurements. Raman spectroscopy measurement indicate that La replaces Bi from perovskite like slab. M\(\ddot{o}\)ssbauer spectroscopy measurement shows the presence of paramagnetic behaviour at room temperature and confirms the presence of Fe\(^{3+}\) in octahedral environment. Further, magnetization measurements indicate paramagnetic nature down to 5K similar to parent compound (Bi\(_5\)FeTi\(_3\)O\(_{15}\)) and suggest La substitution at A-site does not induce the magnetic ordering.
