In the present paper studies on Bi1xNdxFeO3 for x =0.1-0.4 are reported. The mixed oxide method followed with pressureless sintering was employed for ceramics fabrication. Thermal behavior of stoichiometric mixtures of simple oxide powders, viz. Bi2O3, Nd2O3 and Fe2O3 was studied by simultaneous thermal analysis. It was found that with an increase in neodymium content the weight loss increased from 0.75% to 3.16% for x =0.1 and x =0.4, respectively. It was found that weight loss took place mainly within two temperature ranges, namely T1 (300-400)0C and T2 (600-800)0C. Bi1xNdxFeO3 ceramics was studied in terms of its phase composition (X-ray phase analysis) and chemical composition (EDS method) at room temperature. It was found that Bi1xNdxFeO3 suffered structural phase transition from rhombohedral to orthorhombic symmetry with an increase in neodymium concentration x within the range x =(0.2-0.3).
