Phase-pure hexagonal and orthorhombic YFeO₃ nanopowders are synthesized by low-temperature solid-state reaction along with Zr doping. The obtained powders are characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and physical property measurements. The hexagonal YFeO₃ exhibits a narrower optical band gap in comparison to the orthorhombic one, while the orthorhombic YFeO₃ presents better magnetic properties. The formation of hexagonal or orthorhombic phase can be effectively controlled by Zr doping. The temperature range of synthesizing the hexagonal YFeO₃ nanopowders is increased by ~200 °C due to Zr doping so that they can be easily synthesized, which possesses a finer particle size and a smaller optical band gap, making it favorable for optical applications.
通过低温固态反应并掺杂Zr合成了纯相的六方和正交YFeO₃纳米粉末。通过X射线衍射、场发射扫描电子显微镜和物理性能测量对所得粉末进行了表征。与正交YFeO₃相比,六方YFeO₃具有更窄的光学带隙,而正交YFeO₃具有更好的磁性。通过Zr掺杂可以有效地控制六方或正交相的形成。由于Zr掺杂,合成六方YFeO₃纳米粉末的温度范围提高了约200°C,从而可以轻松合成,其具有更细的粒径和更小的光学带隙,有利于光学应用。
