Retraction Note to: J Mater Sci: Mater Electron (2021) 32:20625–20639 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10854-021-06572-4


The authors have retracted this article because after the publication of the article concerns were raised about the structure, composition, and binary solid solution state of the novel compound Bi0.5Ba0.5Gd0.5Ti0.5O3 (BBGTO). Additionally, there were concerns about the methodology and data presented in Figs. 1 and 3. After further investigation, data, analysis, and interpretation have been found to be incorrect and the sample structure is not the same as stated in the paper. Therefore, the Editor-in-chief has lost confidence in the data presented in this article. Authors P. Ganga Achary, R. N. P. Choudhary and Minakshi Padhy have agreed to this retraction but not to the wording of this retraction notice.
