Abstract: Polycrystalline samples of [Bi.sub.0.90][La.sub.0.10]([Fe.sub.1-x][Mn.sub.x])[O.sub.x] are prepared by using a mechanical activation followed by a conventional solid-state reaction method and their electric and magnetic properties at different Mn concentrations are examined. Grain and grain boundary conductivity has increased with a rise in temperature for all Mn concentrations and there is a systematic increase in the value of magnetization on increasing Mn concentration.
