	abstract = {<p>Ferroelectric CaBi(4)Ti(4)O(15) (CBT) powders were prepared for the first time from their respective hydroxides. Commercially purchased Ca(OH)(2) is mixed thoroughly with freshly prepared Bi(OH)(3) and Ti(OH)(4) in stoichiometrie ratio and heated at different temperatures ranging from 100 to 600 degrees C. The CBT phase found to be formed at 500 degrees C by the X-ray diffraction studies. This is the lowest temperature so far reported in the literature for the formation of CBT phase. The advantage of this method is that it also avoids the formation of calcium carbonate phase during synthesis. The phase contents and lattice parameters were studied by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The average particle size and morphology were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Nanocrystalline zinc substituted nickel ferrites, Ni(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4) (0.0 \&lt;= x \&lt;= 1.0) have been prepared by citrate gel auto-combustion method. The effect of zinc ion content on structural, electrical transport and magnetic properties has been studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed that, all the compositions possess single-phase spinel structure. The nano-sized grain structure formation was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dc electrical resistivity shows the samples are semiconducting in nature. The magnetic measurements showed that the composition Ni(0.6)Zn(0.4)Fe(2)O(4) has maximum saturation magnetization (M(s)) while high coersivity (Hc) for ZnFe(2)O(4). Thermoelectric power measurement study showed that the compounds, with x \&lt;= 0.4 are p-type and for x \&gt; 0.4 behaves n-type conduction mechanism. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.</p>},
