| Popis: | Rare earth garnets after milling to nanosizes are found to decompose into rare earth orthoferrite and other rare earth and iron oxide phases. The magnetization for the yttrium iron garnet decreases in the nano state due to the formation of antiferromagnetic phases. But for the gadolinium iron garnet when milled up to 25 h, the room temperature magnetization increases despite the formation of antiferromagnetic and non-magnetic phases. This is attributed to the uncompensated moments of the sublattices because of the weakening of the superexchange interaction due to change in bond angles and the breaking of some superexchange bonds on account of the defects and oxygen vacancies introduced on milling. For the 10 h milled gadolinium iron garnet at 5 K, after correcting for the non-magnetic phases present, there is an increase in the magnetic moment of about 10% as compared to the value for the as-prepared garnet. The magnetic hyperfine fields corresponding to the various phases were measured using 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy at 16 K. The isomer shift values indicate the loss of oxygen for the samples milled for larger duration. |
