Synergistic Influence of Doping and Co‐Doping of Trivalent Ions (La+3 and Al+3) on YFeO3 Nanomaterials

Herein, the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of Y0.85La0.15FexAlyO3: (x; y) where x = 1; y = 0, x = 0.975; y = 0.025, x = 0.95; y = 0.05, and x = 0.9; y = 0.1 nanomaterials obtained from sol–gel method are reported. The X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD) for the structural characterization, scanning electron microscopy for crystallite size estimation, ultraviolet–visible absorption for optical studies, and vibrating‐sample magnetometer for magnetic studies are used in this investigation. An increase of orthorhombic crystal structure with an increase of Al content in the sample is observed from XRD studies. The existence of all the elements present in the samples is observed from energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. The optical bandgap increases from 2.04 to 2.10 eV with an increase of Al concentration from 0 to 0.05. The observed magnetization value is 3.14 emu g−1 for y = 0.05, which is higher than y = 0 (2.11 emu g−1) and y = 0.024 (2.58 emu g−1). In summary, the obtained result (x = 0.95; y = 0.05) can be useful for different magnetic‐based applications.
