Structure peculiarities of nanocrystalline solid solutions in GdAlO3 – GdFeO3 system
Abstract
Nanoparticles of solid solutions in GdAlO3 — GdFeO3 system have been synthe- sized. Plots of crystalline sizes for GdAl1−xFexO3 series versus GdFeO3 composition have been constructed. The sizes of solid solution nanoparticles were shown to decrease in com- parison to the sizes of nanocrystalline individual compounds. The observed regularities allowed us to assume the formation of nanocrystalline GdAl1−xFexO3 series with core-shell morphology.
