Abstract
Nanocrystalline Ce-substituted yttrium iron-gallium garnet Y2.5Ce0.5(Fe0.5Ga0.5)5O12 was obtained by a metal-organic gel combustion method using PVA as a fuel with subsequent calcining in vacuum at 700 ◦C. According to SEM and XRD data, an additional heat treatment in air led only to an increase in the crystallinity of the sample. The element composition and the phase purity were confirmed by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, respectively. Mossbauer spectroscopy on 57Fe nuclei revealed the presence of only Fe3+ ions in the sample, which can be considered as indirect evidence of the absence of tetravalent cerium impurity.
Supporting agencies: This synthesis and study of the samples was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project No. 19-08-00643). The measurements were performed using the equipment of the Joint Research Centre (JRC PMR) IGIC RAS supported by IGIC RAS state assignment (Ministry of Education and Science of the countryregionplaceRussian Federation). Mossbauer studies were supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project No. ¨ 19-73-10034)
