Abstract
Structure, characterization, and magnetic properties of Ti-doped LaFeO3 (LaFe(1-x)Ti(x)O3, x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) nanoparticles synthesized by polymerized complex method are investigated. All LaFe(1-x)Ti(x)O3 nanoparticles were successfully obtained from calcination of the precursor at 1050 degrees C in air for 2 h. The calcined LaFe(1-x)Ti(x)O3 samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The XRD and TEM results showed that all LaFe(1-x)Ti(x)O3 samples had a single phase nature with the orthorhombic structure. The valence states were mixed in the Fe3+ and Fe4+ state for Fe ions and Ti4+ state for Ti ions, as confirmed by XPS and XANES results. The weak ferromagnetic behavior with the highest magnetization (M) of -0.23 emu/g at 10 kOe was obtained for x = 0.4. The origin of the ferromagnetism (FM) for all LaFe1-x)Ti(x)O3 samples supports the magnetic coupling between Fe3+ and Fe4+ ions via double exchange (DE) interaction.
