Structure and Magnetic Properties of Y3−xErxFe5O12 (x=0.2,1.0, and 2.0) Thin Films Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

Nanoparticles Y3−xErxFe5O12 (x=0.2, 1.0, and 2.0) thin films were prepared by sol-gel method and treated at 800, 900, and 1000∘C, respectively, for 2 h. The films have single phase garnet structure and the sizes of particles are in the range of 44 to 83 nm. The magnetic measurements show that the sa...
