Synthesis and magnetic properties of YFeO3 nanocrystals

Crystallization behavior and morphological features of YFeO3 nanocrystallites obtained by glycine-nitrate combustion

“…Yttrium orthoferrite is the one of the most interesting representatives of the complex oxide multiferroics -materials that are both ferroelectric and magnetic. Previously, this compound had been obtained in a nanostructured state by a number of so-called 'soft-chemical' methods [17][18][19][20][21][22][23], including combustion methods [24][25][26][27][28]. Despite the successful synthesis of yttrium orthoferrite nanoparticles from different initial solutions, it should be noted that data about processes leading to YFeO 3 nanosized particle formation as well as about influence of synthetic conditions on its results are quite limited.…”

Investigation of nanostructural, thermal and magnetic properties of yttrium iron garnet synthesized by mechanochemical method

“…By increasing the heat treatment temperature to 900 1C, H c decreases, and M s and w mi increase because of the formation of orthoferrite phase which is a better soft magnet [31]. Heat treatment at 1000 1C leads to lower H c and higher M s and w mi as a result of the garnet formation.…”

Formation mechanism of nanocrystalline yttrium orthoferrite under heat treatment of the coprecipitated hydroxides

“…Nowadays many studies focus on the features of synthesis and properties of nanocrystalline YFeO 3 [5][6][7][8][9][10] with the view of developing new nanomaterials.…”

“…Although a considerable number of studies treats the methods of synthesis of nanocrystalline orthoferrites, there are only fragmentary data concerning the mechanisms of their formation from coprecipitated hydroxides [6,[17][18][19][20]. Still, the latter method is promising for the preparation of nanocrystals due to simple apparatus and positive experience of its application for high-speed synthesis of many oxide compounds, yielding nanocrystalline reaction products [15].…”

“…Still, the latter method is promising for the preparation of nanocrystals due to simple apparatus and positive experience of its application for high-speed synthesis of many oxide compounds, yielding nanocrystalline reaction products [15]. The synthesis of nanocrystalline yttrium orthoferrite by decomposition of coprecipitated hydroxides was considered in [6,10], but the mechanism of its formation, whose knowledge would enable directed synthesis of nanocrystalline YFeO 3 , still remains to be investigated.…”
