Bismuth Ferrites: Synthesis Methods and Experimental Techniques Springer
Dry mixing is done either by grinding and mixing in a drum or ball mill. In the solidstate route [ 42 ], Bi 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 are reacted at a temperature in the range of 800830 °C in nitrogen and oxygen environments, and unreacted Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 phases are removed by washing in nitric acid.
