The dip-coating technique was used for the preparation of Y3Al5-xFexO12 films on a silicon (Si) substrate. The phase composition and surface morphology of both bulk and coatings were determined and compared. The synthesized powder samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The data provide evidence that some sol-gel-derived powder specimens consist of magnetically ordered component, while others show paramagnetic behavior depending on the composition of the product. It was also shown that sol-gel processing route could be successfully used for the preparation of mixed-metal YAIG thin films.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMaterialsPowdersSol-Gel ProcessSynthesis of Chemical CompoundsThermal DecompositionThin FilmsArticle10.1080/00986445.2017.13360912049103710482-s2.0-85025122388Q2WOS:000409169500003Q3
