1 Retraction to: Applied Physics A (2021) 127:789 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00339-019-3058-y
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns regarding the validity of the data were raised in a Letter to the Editor [1]. Further investigation has found that:
-
The authenticity of the structural data in Table 1 could not be verified;
-
The diffraction data set appears to be incomplete;
-
The chemical formula used by authors, BiFe0.85Gd0.15O3, appears to be incorrect.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
L. Thansanga, Alok Shukla, Nitin Kumar and R. N. P. Choudhary do not agree to this retraction.
