Abstract

Single-phase polycrystalline samples of Y3−x Sm x Fe5O12 (x = 0.0–3.0) were prepared by using a solid-state reaction method. The lattice constant is found to increase from 12.372 Å for x = 0.0 to 12.524 Å for \(x = 3.0\). The substitution of Sm3+ at Y3+ site is confirmed from the red shift of Raman F2g mode. Magnetization loops measured at room temperature and the analysis of initial magnetization curves show that saturation magnetization value decreases with an increase in Sm concentration due to the possible antiferromagnetic interaction. On the other hand, temperature variation of magnetization plots shows that all the samples exhibit ferrimagnetic transition with transition temperature in the range of 550 K for x = 0.0 to 573 K for \(x = 3.0\). The dielectric constant increases upon Sm substitution, and the analysis of impedance and dielectric spectra shows the contribution of both grains and grain boundaries.
