Investigation of the garnet–perovskite transition in Nd doped YIG by means of magnetic disaccommodation

Abstract

The garnet-perovskite transition is studied in this work with magnetic disaccommodation on polycrystalline Nd doped YIG samples Y 3-x Nd x Fe 5 O 12 (0 < x < 2.5). A very different behaviour with the sintering atmosphere is observed. The results of magnetic disaccommodation for samples sintered in air reveal that the low temperature peak of YIG at 120 K disappear and another peak emerge at 300 K with x = 2.0, when the solubility limit is surpassed and the compound contains secondary perovskite phase and magnetite. For CO 2 sintered samples, the process at 120 K exhibit magnetic accommodation features (i.e. negative disaccommodation), and vanishes with increasing Nd substitution, together with the appearance of the 300 K peak associated with the garnet-perovskite transition which takes place with x ≈ 1.4 doping. Thermal evolution of magnetic permeability and X-ray diffraction support the behaviour observed.

“…In addition, this kind of technique can provide information about the phase changes, defect dynamics, etc. [2]. A valuable measurement technique in this topic is magnetic disaccommodation, i.e.…”

Enhancement in Curie Temperature of Yttrium Iron Garnet by Doping with Neodymium

“…According to Hernández-Gómez et al [22], the substitution of Y 3+ by Nd 3+ alters the magnetic properties of YIG. However, the maximum concentrations of Nd 3+ that can be introduced into the YIG structure in order to maintain the garnet structure are x = 2.0 and x = 1.6 for the air and CO 2 sintering atmospheres, respectively.…”
