Abstract

The regulation of Fe2+ in yttrium iron garnet is a crucial factor in determining its dielectric and magnetic properties. This study successfully prepared Y3Mn0.2Fe4.8O12 ceramics, and studied their microstructure, magnetism, dielectric properties, and ferromagnetic linewidth through Mnn+ ion doping. The microstructural analysis revealed that the doping of low-valence Mn led to an increase in the grain size and density of ceramics, while the Mn4+–YIG showed the emergence of the second phase of YFeO3. Chemical composition analysis confirmed that the Fe2+ content was regulated by the Mn valence and that the lowest value was observed in Mn2+–YIG. The hysteresis loop demonstrated that the saturation magnetization decreased with the increase of Mn valence. In addition, low-valence Mn doping also reduced the dielectric loss and ferromagnetic resonance linewidth. Therefore, this study confirmed that low-valence metal doping could be a promising approach for regulating the Fe2+ content in YIG.
