Abstract

Samples with the compositions Y2.9Ca0.1Fe4.9Sn0.1O12 and Y3Fe4.9Sn0.1O12 were prepared by using a sol-gel technique. The influence of the substituted non-magnetic cations with different valences in the structural and magnetic properties was studied. X-ray diffraction and field-emission electron scanning microscope techniques were used to study the crystal structure and morphology. Magnetization curves in fields up to 10 kOe and in temperature range from 80 K to 570 K were measured by means of a vibrating sample magnetometer. Saturation magnetization as a function of temperature of the two samples was analyzed based on the molecular-field theory from that models for site occupancy and valence states of cations in the crystal structures were derived.

Keywords: yttrium iron garnet; Ca and Sn substitution; magnetization; Curie temperature; molecular-field calculation
