Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) nanopowders were synthesized by sol-gel method using Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, Y(NO3)3·6H2O as raw materials. The influence of heat treatment, the citric acid to metal nitrates molar ratio (CA / MN) and PH value on the synthesized powders were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal analyses (DTA/TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). YIG powders with average grain size of 80~90nm were synthesized after calcining at 1000°C for 4h.

Yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12) films were prepared by a sol-gel method followed by an annealing process at 500,600,700,800, and 900°C in oxygen atmosphere for 2 hours. The microstructure characterization carried out by an X-ray diffractometer showed that the film started to crystalline into YIG phase at 700°C. The average grain size of the films measured using a field emission scanning electron microscope gave the average value of 20 to 70 nm. The magnetic properties measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer showed that all of the films were soft magnetic materials. The saturation magnetization values increased with the increment of annealing temperature. However, the coercivity values were independence with temperatures.Keywords:Thinfilms;Crystalline;Sol-gelmethod;

AbstractCerium substituted yttrium iron garnet (Ce0.2Y2.8Fe5O12; Ce-YIG) nanoparticles were produced via the sol-gel method from solutions of Ce-, Y- and Fe-based precursors, a solvent and a chelating agent. The solutions were dried at 200°C and heat treated at temperatures between 800 °C and 1400°C for 3 h in air. The effects of pH and annealing temperature on the structure, phase formation, magnetic properties and crystallite size were investigated. A cubic YIG phase was obtained for the sample annealed at 1400 °C. The presented results showed that the pH value of the starting solution affects the crystal size and consequently, the saturation magnetization.


The green emitting phosphor based on manganese activated zinc silicate was successfully synthesized by the sol – gel method using hydrochloric acid. The suitable molar ratio of the initial components is Zn(CH3COO)2: MnSO4: TEOS = 1.98: 0.02: 1 corresponding to the product formula Zn1.98Mn0,02SiO4. The suitable pH value for the gelation is 3, ratio of water phase: ethanol phase = 1:1 and the product when calcining the obtained gel at 10000C for 60 minutes has highest luminescence intensity. The synthesized phosphor consists of Zn2SiO4 with rhombohedral structure and emits a green light at the 525 nm wavelength when excited by the 325 nm UV radiation. The produced sample has spherical form with the particles size being 100 nm.

Terbium –substituted yttrium iron garnet (Tb1.5Y1.5Fe5O12) films nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a sol-gel method. The films were deposited on the quartz substrate using spin coating technique. To study effect of annealing temperature, the annealing process was executed at 700, 800 and 900 °C in air for 2 hours. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) proved that the pure phase of garnet structure was detected for the film annealed at 900 °C. The lattice parameter increased with the increment of annealing temperature and the highest value of 12.35 Å was obtained at 900 °C. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) results showed that the particle size increased from 43nm to 56nm as annealing temperature increased from 700 to 900°C. The film’s thickness also affected by increasing of annealing temperature and become thin at 900 °C due to densification process occurred at high annealing temperature. The elemental compositions of the Tb1.5Y1.5Fe5O12 film were detected using an Energy Dispersive X-raySpectroscopy (EDX). Magnetic properties at room temperature were measured using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM).The saturation magnetization Ms increased with the annealingtemperature and showed a high value of 104emu/cm3, but the coercivity Hc of the film was decreased due to the increment of the particle size.

Mn, Fe doped ZnO powders (Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2, x≤0.05) were synthesized by an ameliorated sol-gel method, using Zn(CH3COO)2, Mn(CH3COO)2and FeCl2as the raw materials, with the addition of vitamin C as a kind of chemical reducer. The resulting powder was subsequently compacted under pressure of 10 MPa at the temperature of 873K in vacuum. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2powder and bulk samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study chemical valence of manganese, iron and zinc in the samples. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O (x≤0.05) samples were single phase with the ZnO-like wurtzite structure. No secondary phase was found in the XRD spectrum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that Fe and Mn existed in Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2samples in Fe2+and Mn2+states. The results of VSM experiment proved the room temperature ferromagnetic properties (RTFP) of Mn, Fe co-doped ZnO samples.

Aluminum titanate (Al2TiO5) powder has been synthesized at low temperature via nonhydrolytic sol-gel method by using aluminum powder as aluminum source, titanium tetrachloride as titanium source, anhydrous ethanol as oxygen donor with different catalysts. The phase transformation of aluminum titanate xerogel powder during heat treatment and the influence of the mixing orders of raw materials, catalyst kinds on the synthesis of aluminum titanate were investigated by means of differential-thermal analysis (DTA-TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results indicated that aluminum titanate powder was easily synthesized at 750 °C by using AlCl3 as catalyst with a mixing order of adding TiCl4 before AlCl3 into aluminum alcohol mixture. The catalytic order of the different catalysts in the preparation process of aluminum titanate is: FeCl3> AlCl3> MgCl2. The catalyst promoted the activation of metal aluminum powder and played a major role in the synthesis of aluminum titanate powder at low temperature via nonhydrolytic sol-gel method.

AbstractIn this work, BiFeO3 powders were synthesized by a sol–gel method. The influence of annealing temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of the samples has been discussed. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the purest phase was formed in the temperature range of 400 °C to 550 °C and the samples annealed at a temperature below 550 °C were of nanocrystalline character. Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements were used as complementary methods to investigate the magnetic state of the samples. In particular, the appearance of weak ferromagnetic properties, significant growth of magnetization, and spin-glass-like behavior were observed along with the drop of average grain size. Mössbauer spectra were fitted by the model assuming cycloidal modulation of spins arrangement and properties of the spin cycloid were determined and analyzed. Most importantly, it was proved that the spin cycloid does not disappear even in the case of the samples with a particle size well below the cycloid modulation period λ = 62 nm. Furthermore, the cycloid becomes more anharmonic as the grain size decreases. The possible origination of weak ferromagnetism of the nanocrystalline samples has also been discussed.
