Abstract
Mixed sesquioxides (x = 0.10, 0.20, 0.60, 1.00, 1.60 and 1.80) in the cubic (C) phase were obtained by precipitation and subsequent sintering. Cubic and were transformed into monoclinic (B) phases at 1400 K and 1600 K respectively. The transformation is reconstructive in character. All of the structures were refined using the Rietveld powder method, and the ions found to be randomly distributed. The molar magnetic susceptibilities at room temperature exceed the free-ion values, and are almost independent of the concentration for . For , the susceptibilities decrease with decreasing concentration of the magnetic ion . This behaviour is attributed to crystal-field and anisotropic exchange effects.
