Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-50635-x, published online 03 January 2024
The Editors have retracted this Article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the data presented in Fig. 2. Specifically,
-
The difference plots in Fig. 2A, C, and D appear to be identical to those in Fig. 2A, B, and D in Ref.1.
-
The calculated curve in Fig. 2B appears to be identical to that in the 2% Gd doped panel of Fig. 1D in Ref.2.
-
The X-ray diffraction patterns shown in Fig. 2 are similar to those shown in Fig. 2 in Ref.3.
Additional concerns were raised regarding repetitive features in the X-ray diffraction pattern curves presented in Fig. 2A, B, and D. The Authors shared the original data; however, an expert peer review of this information identified notable differences between the original data and published images. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.
Krishna Priya Hazarika and J. P. Borah disagree with the retraction.
