Abstract
Bi1-xSmxFeO3 (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.15) nanoparticles have been prepared through tartaric acid assisted sol–gel method. The X-ray diffractogram was used to confirm the phase formation and it revealed the single-phase formation with R3c space group. SEM analysis revealed that the particle size decreased with increasing Sm concentration. The crystallite size was observed to be in the range of 30 nm. M-H study depicted an increase in magnetization with increasing samarium concentration. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of magnetization studies was found to be in agreement with results of the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) magnetization studies.
