Abstract:Optical and magnetic properties of Gd1−xSrxCrO3 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.15) polycrystalline samples have been investigated to identify the role of Sr2+ ion in GdCrO3 compound. Quantitative structural analysis using Rietveld refinement suggests the formation of single orthorhombic phase up to x = 0.1 composition, and in addition, a secondary monazite-type structure of SrCrO4 arises for x = 0.15 composition. Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectra also confirm the presence of SrCrO4 component for higher concentr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
