Abstract
The garnets Nd1-xBixY2Fe5O12 (x=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) have been studied by x-rays, electron microscopy, ferromagnetic resonance, vibrating sample magnetometer and Mössbauer spectroscopy, Ultra-fine polycrystalline cubic samples have been prepared by a melt-salt routed sol-gel method. The Mössbauer spectra consist of two sets of six-line patterns corresponding Fe3+ to at the tetrahedral 24(d) and octahedral 16(a) sites. Magnetic hyperfine fields of Nd0.5Bi0.5Y2O12 at 12 K are found to be 548 kOe (octahedral site) and 475 kOe (tetrahedral site), respectively, It is found that Debye temperatures for the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of Nd0.75Bi0.25Y2Fe5O12 are θoct=285 K, respectively, The iron ions at both sites are highly covalent ferric. The Nel temperature decreases linearly with Bi concentration, from 630 K for =0.0 to 600 K for =1.0, suggesting that the superexchange interaction for the Nd-O-Fe link is stronger than that for the Bi-O-Fe link. As a consequence, the coercivity of Nd1-xBixY2Fe5O12 drastically decreases and the magnetization remains almost constant as x increases.
