Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO 3 ), Neodymium (Nd) and Manganese (Mn) (Bi 1-x Nd x Fe 1-y Mn y O 3 ) with (x, y = 0.03, 0.03; 0.03, 0.05; 0.05, 0.03; 0.05, 0.05) were prepared by Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) method at annealing temperatures of 550 °C. The effects of addition of Nd and Mn co-dopants in the BiFeO 3 on the crystal structure and optical properties are presented. The results of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) characterization showed that the addition of Nd and Mn co-dopants leads the diffraction angles to shift to smaller angles and to decrease the crystal size. Doped-BiFeO 3 samples were characterized by UV-vis in the wavelength range of 200 nm-800 nm. The transmittance value of Bi 1-x Nd x Fe 1-y Mn y O 3 samples decreased in the wavelength range of 400-800 nm (UV light). The addition of Nd and Mn co-dopants to BiFeO 3 caused light dispersion and refractive index to decrease.
