Retraction Note to: J Mater Sci: Mater Electron (2023) 34:1417 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10854-023-10815-x


The authors have retracted this article because after the publication of the article concerns were raised for Fig. 1. After further analysis, the authors found problems in the XRD data analysis and its interpretation. Therefore, the compound, Mn0.5Cu0.5SmxFe2−xO4 presented in the article is not a new single crystal but a mixture of two different crystals. All authors agree to this retraction.

The authors have been offered to submit a revised manuscript for further peer review.
