ABSTRACT We present the structural investigation on multiferroic Ba1-xSrxMnO3 perovskite manganites with x = 0.50, 0.60, 0.70 and 0.75 synthesized by combustion method. Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction data reveals the hexagonal structure with space group P63/mmc for all compositions. The unit cell lattice parameters for Ba1-xSrxMnO3 decrease monotonically with Sr-substitution on Ba-site. The value of structural tolerance factor decreases from 1.047 for x = 0.50 to 1.018 for x = 0.75.
