- Abstract
A low temperature route to the multiferroic FeAlO3 is being reported. Four different synthesis routes namely, the solid-state route, the co-precipitation route, the sol–gel route and the high-energy ball-milling route have been carried out. The as-prepared samples of all the four routes have been subjected to sintering at 1,000°C. The sintered samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy. X-ray diffractograms revealed the coexistence of the orthorhombic multiferroic phase along with some unreacted impurities. Mössbauer spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the desired multiferroic phase along with residual hematite. A discussion on the various aspects of the different synthesis procedures is presented.
