Reply to the ‘Comment on “Investigation of the structural, surface topographical, fractal, capacitive, and electrical properties of a defect brownmillerite perovskite material KBiFeMnO5 for electronic devices” by P. Tomaszewski, RSC Adv., 2024, DOI: 10.1039/D4RA04218B’
Abstract
This reply mainly deals with the scientific description of the comments on the structure of the published compound KBiFeMnO5. The newly developed compound was prepared using a standard ceramic technology (high-temperature solid-state reaction technique). The high-purity ingredients (K2CO3, Bi2O3, Fe2O3 and Mn2O3) were taken stoichiometrically to create a single-phase compound, whereas, in the commented article, KBiFeMnO5 is written as sillenite Bi25FeO40 or/and Bi24Mn2O40 that is unacceptable without other detailed experiments.
