Large changes in saturation and remnant magnetization, magnetic susceptibility at low and high fields, along with some anomalous changes in the magnetic transition temperature are observed in nanocrystalline Bi1-xLaxFeO3 system for 0.1 &amp;lt;= x &amp;lt;= 0.2. This compositional region corresponds to the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region separating the rhombohedral and orthorhombic phases, and the effect is similar to that observed in many ferroelectric systems. The present observation of enhanced ferromagnetic parameters in the MPB region of the nanocrystalline multiferroic La substituted BiFeO3 system, combined with the known ferroelectric characteristics, is suitable for future device applications.
