Nano-sized Y

12–
nSmFeO
3 mixed powder (ca. 20 nm in particle size) was prepared by bead-milling using 0.05 mmφ beads for 10 h. For the SmFeO
3-free sample (
n = 0), the heat generation ability in an AC magnetic field (370 kHz, 1.77 kA·m
−1) was 0.34 W·g
−1 for the bead-milled sample, and it was increased by a calcination at low temperature. The maximum ability of 0.46 W·g
−1 in an AC magnetic field (370 kHz, 1.77 kA·m
−1) was obtained for the Y
3Fe
5O
12 (
n = 0) sample (36.8 nm in particle size) calcined at 700°C. The heat generation mechanism changed from superparamagnetic to ferrimagnetic due to particle growth at 700°C for the
n = 0 sample, because the heat generation ability (W·g
−1) depended on the cube of the magnetic field. A mixed SmFeO
3 phase acted as an impurity for depression of the particle growth for the Y
3Fe
5O
12 particles. The heat generation ability was slightly improved by the addition of SmFeO
3 and the maximum value was 0.48 W·g
−1 in an AC magnetic field (370 kHz, 1.77 kA·m
−1) for
n = 0.2 and 0.4 samples. The maximum heat generation ability was decreased for the excessive SmFeO
3 mixed sample (
n = 0.6). The calcination temperature for the formation of the ferrimagnetic material was increased by the SmFeO
3 addition due to the depression of particle growth.
