Abstract
Yttrium orthoferrite nanocrystallites with hexagonal and orthorhombic structures were obtained directly by the glycine-nitrate synthesis. The nanocrystallites have plate-like morphology and are strongly agglomerated in highlyporous structures, as was shown by the TEM investigation. The influences of the synthesis conditions on the yttrium orthoferrite crystallization, its nanocrystallite size and morphology are discussed.
