Abstract

Nanocrystalline yttrium iron garnet (YIG) have been synthesized through sol-gel and followed by a suitable hot-pressing technique. Crystallization temperature of YIG is around 800°C. The coercivity of these nanocomposites changes from 40 to 100 Oe while the particle size varies from 10.1 to 24.5 nm. Increase of effective anisotrophy constant is attributed to the higher coercive force. Smaller saturation magnetization is caused by the fact that the volume fraction of nanocrystalline YIG in these composites is rather small.
