Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We report the synthesis of Y1 − x Cd x FeO3 − δ nanocrystals in the range x = 0–0.2. The Y1 − x Cd x FeO3 − δ materials were shown to be single-phase by X-ray diffraction, with an average crystallite size from 23 to 34 nm, depending on composition. With increasing cadmium oxide content, the size of the Y1 − x Cd x FeO3 − δ nanocrystals decreases and their magnetization rises.
