MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF GARNET Y3Fe5O12 NANOCRYSTALS PREPARED BY COPRECIPITATION METHOD

Abstract

Yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 nanocrystalline powders were synthesized by simultaneously dehydrating of hydroxide of iron (III) and yttrium, and then heating in the air environment. Garnet Y3Fe5O12 nanocrystals at the size of 30 nm formed after calcinating up to 775°C had large saturation and high coercive force (Hc=60 Oe).
