It was found that La{sub 1-x}{sub x}Sm{sub x}TiO{sub 3} (x = 0, 0.0625, 0.1875, 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) systems form a complete solid solution phase with the orthorhombic perovskite structure (GdFeO{sub 3} type). Between x = 0 (LaTiO{sub 3}; T{sub N} (Neel temperature) {approximately}130 K) and x = 1 (SmTiO{sub 3}; T{sub N} {approximately} 50 K), the susceptibility-temperature (Z-T) curves exhibited a characteristic peak phenomenon below T{sub N}`s only for 0.0625 {le} x {le} 0.375. Such behavior almost disappears for x {ge} 0.5.
