A polycrystalline ceramic of 0.5Bi_0.95Dy_0.05FeO₃-0.5Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃ was synthesized from a solid-state reaction method. At room temperature material exhibits both magnetic and electric dipolar properties simultaneously. Detailed X-ray diffraction analysis and Mössbauer effect studies have been done to determine the crystallographic structure and magnetic properties of 0.5Bi_0.95Dy_0.05FeO₃-0.5Pb(Fe_2/3W_1/3)O₃. T_N temperature was estimated at around 600 K.
