ABSTRACT |
This paper presents a study on the magnetic behaviour of selected doped SiAlONs with various compositions including Y, Yb, Sm, Gd, and Er. The resulting crystalline phases were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The magnetic hysteresis data for the samples were collected at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer. The study revealed that doped SiAlONs experience an appreciable level of magnetic hysteresis. Although the parameters corresponding to hysteresis loops in doped SiAlONs are less than those of common ferrites, their magnetic properties of SiAlONs may open up new potential areas of application as the host SiAlON ceramics have excellent structural properties. |
