A series of multiferroic (BiFeO{sub 3}){sub 1−x}(BaTiO{sub 3}){sub x} [x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3]. ceramics were prepared to study the effect of combine substitution of BaTiO{sub 3} in (BiFeO{sub 3}){sub 1−x}(BaTiO{sub 3}){sub x}. X-ray diffraction studies revealed phase transition from rhombohedral R3c to cubic on substitution of BaTiO{sub 3}. XRD patterns of (BiFeO{sub 3}){sub 1−x}(BaTiO{sub 3}){sub x} BF-BT. has been analyzed and single phase of rhombohedral was found up to 70 mol% of BiFeO{sub 3}. Morphotropic phase boundary was found just above x=0.3, and finally it transformed into a cubic structure. The BF-BT ceramics exhibited symmetric magnetic hysteresis loops, indicating that they are magnetically ordered materials. Calculated values of remnant magnetizations of samples for x=0.1 and 0.2 indicated weak ferromagnetism in the samples.
