Bulk Bismuth Gadolinium Oxide, BiGdO{sub 3} and Eu doped BiGdO{sub 3} compounds were synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction in air. Phase formation of these compounds was tracked using powder X-ray characterization technique since single phase formation was found to be sensitive to thermal treatment parameters such as cooling and heating rates. Analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns revealed cubic structure with Pm-3m symmetry. An antiferromagnetic transition around 3.8 K was observed in the pristine compound whereas doped samples showed paramagnetic nature in the whole measured temperature range.
