Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin films substituted erbium ions (Er+3) Er0.4Y2.6Fe5O12 films were prepared by a sol-gel method at different temperatures which varied from 800 to 1000°C for 2 hours in air. Magnetic and microstructural properties of the films were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD patterns of the sample have only peaks of the garnet structure. The lattice constants decrease, while the particle size increases from 51 to 85 nm as the annealing temperature increases with average in thickness of 300 nm. The saturation magnetization and the coercivity of the samples increased from 26 (emu/cc) and 28 Oe for the film annealed at 800°C to 76 (emu/cc) and 45 Oe for film annealed at 1000°C, respectively.

Yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12) films were prepared by a sol-gel method followed by an annealing process at 500,600,700,800, and 900°C in oxygen atmosphere for 2 hours. The microstructure characterization carried out by an X-ray diffractometer showed that the film started to crystalline into YIG phase at 700°C. The average grain size of the films measured using a field emission scanning electron microscope gave the average value of 20 to 70 nm. The magnetic properties measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer showed that all of the films were soft magnetic materials. The saturation magnetization values increased with the increment of annealing temperature. However, the coercivity values were independence with temperatures.Keywords:Thinfilms;Crystalline;Sol-gelmethod;

AbstractCerium substituted yttrium iron garnet (Ce0.2Y2.8Fe5O12; Ce-YIG) nanoparticles were produced via the sol-gel method from solutions of Ce-, Y- and Fe-based precursors, a solvent and a chelating agent. The solutions were dried at 200°C and heat treated at temperatures between 800 °C and 1400°C for 3 h in air. The effects of pH and annealing temperature on the structure, phase formation, magnetic properties and crystallite size were investigated. A cubic YIG phase was obtained for the sample annealed at 1400 °C. The presented results showed that the pH value of the starting solution affects the crystal size and consequently, the saturation magnetization.
