Abstract

(In1−xDyx)2O3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10) nanoparticles with a particle size of 15–22 nm were obtained by an auto-combustion method. The powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and x-ray absorption near edge spectral (XANES) analysis revealed a cubic bixbyite structure (space group Ia-3). The presence of Dy3+ ions in the In2O3 host lattice was confirmed from XPS data. The high-resolution transition electron microscopic (HRTEM) and XANES revealed the single phase (solid solution) nature of the nanoparticles. The optical band gap was found to increase from 3.57 eV to 3.64 eV by doping Dy into the In2O3 lattice. Photoluminescence spectra shows emission in the yellow region probably due to oxygen related vacancies. A weak ferromagnetic property was seen for Dy-doped In2O3 at room temperature, while pure In2O3 is diamagnetic. It seems that Dy:In2O3 is not a suitable␣system to consider for dilute magnetic semiconductors in spintronic devices.
