Abstract

The nanoparticles of La3Ni2NbO9 (LNNO) have been produced via the glycine-nitrate combustion technique followed by a process of calcination with an average crystallite size of ∼ 25 nm. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern was analyzed for structure analysis by Rietveld structure refinement. Study on the XRD pattern reveals that LNNO crystallizes in the single phase of monoclinic crystal structure with P21/n space group. Analysis of temperature-dependent magnetization reveals that nanoparticles of LNNO undergo paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase transition at Neel temperature TN ∼ 43 K and antiferromagnetic to spin glass transition at Tg ∼ 31.45 K. Analysis of magnetic ac-susceptibility reveals that the LNNO nanoparticles follow Vogel-Fulcher and dynamic scaling power laws in the low-temperature region.
