Their structures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, La1\u2212xNdxFeO3 nanoceramics were prepared using a high pressure sintering technique. The luminescence spectra of the powders were investigated as a function of concentration of active dopant to check the possible energy transfers observed due to Nd3+ concentration changes. The electrical and magnetic properties of the powders and ceramics were investigated to determine the effect of Nd3+ doping on the dielectric permittivity and magnetization in the wide frequency range.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ceramics2010001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,21]],"date-time":"2018-12-21T09:24:11Z","timestamp":1545384251000},"page":"1-12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Optical, Dielectric and Magnetic Properties of La1\u2212xNdxFeO3 Powders and Ceramics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2566-1422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"G\u0142uchowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, PAS, PL-50422 Wroclaw, Poland"},{"name":"Nanoceramics Inc., PL-50422 Wroclaw, Poland"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Oganisian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanoceramics Inc., PL-50422 Wroclaw, Poland"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Tomala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, PAS, PL-50422 Wroclaw, Poland"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"\u0141ukowiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, PAS, PL-50422 Wroclaw, Poland"}]},{"given":"Dmitry","family":"Karpinsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific and Practical Materials Research Center NAS Belarus, BY-220072 Minsk, Belarus"}]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Alikin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Department and CICECO, Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, PT-3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ural Federal University, 620000 Ekaterinburg, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3432-7610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrei","family":"Kholkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Department and CICECO, Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, PT-3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ural Federal University, 620000 Ekaterinburg, Russia"}]},{"given":"Wies\u0142aw","family":"Str\u0119k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, PAS, PL-50422 Wroclaw, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"767","DOI":"10.1038\/35015515","article-title":"Direct observation of the alignment of ferromagnetic spins by antiferromagnetic spins","volume":"405","author":"Nolting","year":"2000","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"503","article-title":"Studies on electrical and dielectric properties of LaFeO3","volume":"2","author":"Khetre","year":"2011","journal-title":"Adv.
