Optical, Dielectric and Magnetic Properties of La1−xNdxFeO3 Powders and Ceramics – Article 14

Abstract: Nanocrystalline La_1−xNd_xFeO₃ powders with different concentrations of Nd³⁺ have been synthesized using a modified Pechini method. Their structures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, La_1−xNd_xFeO₃ nanoceramics were prepared using a high pressure sintering technique. The luminescence spectra of the powders were investigated as a function of concentration of active dopant to check the possible energy transfers observed due to Nd³⁺ concentration changes. The electrical and magnetic properties of the powders and ceramics were investigated to determine the effect of Nd³⁺ doping on the dielectric permittivity and magnetization in the wide frequency range.
