Structure-Controllable Synthesis of Multiferroic YFeO3 Nanopowders and Their Optical and Magnetic Properties

Phase-pure hexagonal and orthorhombic YFeO3 nanopowders are synthesized by low-temperature solid-state reaction along with Zr doping. The obtained powders are characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and physical property measurements. The hexagonal YFeO3 exhi...
