Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd) is a weak magnetic element at room temperature. Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) is a poor semiconductor with para-magnetism. In this work Gadolinium oxide is prepared from the thermal dissociation of Gadolinium acetate. The average cluster size is found to be dependent on the number of the sintering time. In this present work an attempt has been made to characterize the developed Gadolinium oxide. Experimental probes used to characterize it are optical absorbance (UV-VIS); Fourier transformed infra red (FTIR) spectroscopy, DC current voltage characteristics (CVC) and photo-sensitivity studies of the developed specimens. Gadolinium oxide exhibits a good optical sensing property.
