        Nano-crystalline Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) were synthesized by normal co-precipitation method using yttria and aluminum nitrates as the starting materials and ammonium hydrogen carbonate (AHC, NH4HCO3) as precipitant. To investigate the effect of temperatu More
        Nano-crystalline Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) were synthesized by normal co-precipitation method using yttria and aluminum nitrates as the starting materials and ammonium hydrogen carbonate (AHC, NH4HCO3) as precipitant. To investigate the effect of temperature and holding time the resultant precursors were calcined at 900-1100 °C for 2 h also at 1100 °C for other durations (15, 30, 45 and 60 min). The evolution of phase composition and micro-structure of the as-synthesized YAG powders were characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermal analyses (TG/DTA), Specific surface area analyses (BET) and field emission electron microscopy (FESEM). The cubic YAG phase with an average grain size of 33 nm and specific surface area of 30 m2/g was completely formed at 1000 °C. In addition, pure YAG nano powders were obtained at 1100 °C in only 15 min calcination. Results showed that compared with increasing holding time, raising of temperature have more intense effect in increasing YAG crystal or particle size. Manuscript profile

        Ion distribution on the spinel structure of ferrite nanoparticles is one of the critical factors that can affect magnetic properties. Therefore, if a method changes ion distribution, it can be used for fabrication (synthesis) of nanoparticles with different magnetic properties that apply in the diverse of technology field. In this work, the dependence of magnetic characteristics of the cobalt-doped nickel ferrite nanoparticles on Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) assisted co-precipitation processes was studied. The structural and magnetic measurements were made employing XRD and VSM. Nanoparticles with a cubic spinel structure and an average size of about 29 nm have been synthesized, and their structure was confirmed using the XRD pattern and Sherrer’s equation. According to the obtained hysteresis loops of the five sets of synthesized nanoparticles, the coercive field and magnetization are different because of the interaction between polymer and metal ions in the reaction medium that causes a kind of ion immobilization and different ion distribution over the spinel structure. Such polymer-based synthesis procedures can be used to fabricate of magnetic nanoparticles with tunable magnetic properties. Manuscript profile
