Abstract

Mn-doped indium oxide (In _2-xMn _xO ₃) nanoparticles (7-12 nm) with x = 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 have been synthesized by solvothermal method using oxalate precursor route for the first time. Powder X-ray diffraction studies showed the formation of monophasic cubic structure of In _2-xMn _xO ₃ solid solutions. X-ray diffraction and UV-visible reflectance studies revealed that Mn ²⁺ ions are doped into the In ₂O ₃ lattice. Reflectance measurements showed red shift in an energy band gap which decreases with an increase in the Mn concentration. Maximum surface area of 768 m ² g ^-1 is obtained for In _1.85Mn _0.15O ₃ nanoparticles. Magnetization measurement revealed that all the samples are paramagnetic in nature with very weak antiferromagnetic interactions.
