Nanocrystalline La 1−x Nd x FeO 3 powders with different concentrations of Nd 3+ have been synthesized using a modified Pechini method. Their structures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, La 1−x Nd x FeO 3 nanoceramics were prepared using a high pressure sintering technique. The luminescence spectra of the powders were investigated as a function of concentration of active dopant to check the possible energy transfers observed due to Nd 3+ concentration changes. The electrical and magnetic properties of the powders and ceramics were investigated to determine the effect of Nd 3+ doping on the dielectric permittivity and magnetization in the wide frequency range.
