The mechanochemical solid state reaction between commercial Y2O3 powder and mechanochemically synthesized TiO powder in molar ratio 0.5:1 was completed for 3 h in a high-energy planetary ball mill in argon atmosphere. The heating in vacuum at 1150 ¡ãC for 12 h transforms nanosized YTiO3 to a well-crystallized single-phase perovskite YTiO3. Both samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric (TGA/DTA) analyses, as well as superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID) measurements. %K yttrium titanate %K mechanochemical synthesis %K nanomaterials %K structural properties %K magnetic properties %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0367-598X/2012/0367-598X1100103B.pdf
