The Physical Properties of Erbium-Doped Yttrium Iron Garnet Films Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

ErxY3-xFe5O12 nanoparticle films (x=0.0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.0, and 2.5) have been synthesized by a sol-gel technique. All of the samples were annealed at 1000°C. The nanostructures were characterized by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), the magnetic properties and the grain size were studied using a vibrating...
