In this work the results of investigations for (BiFeO3)x(BaTiO3)1-x and Bi1-xNdxFeO3 solid solutions are described. Samples were prepared by the conventional solid-state sintering method. X-ray diffraction, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetoelectric effect measurements were applied as complementary methods to determine the structure and magnetic properties of materials. For (BiFeO3)x(BaTiO3)1-x solid solutions Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed the relationship between the content of BiFeO3 and the magnetic properties of the samples. Moreover, the presence of magnetoelectric coupling in (BiFeO3)x(BaTiO3)1-x solid solutions was registered at room temperature for the materials sintered at various temperatures. The maximum value of magnetoelectric voltage coefficient was achieved for 0.7(BiFeO3)0.3(BaTiO3) sintered at 1153K. Structure of Bi1-xNdxFeO3 solid solutions was investigated in the whole range of concentration. Hyperfine interactions parameters were determined for the first time for these solid solutions.
