Nanocrystalline samples of DyFe5-xAlxO12 (x = 0.0 and 1.0) were synthesized using the sol-gel method to investigate the structural effects of aluminum substitution in the garnet lattice. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of single-phase cubic garnet structures across all compositions, with slight peak shifts and crystallite size reduction indicative of doping-induced lattice strain. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the nanoscale morphology and compositional control, with average particle sizes decreasing from 46.8 to 34.9 nm. The results demonstrate that Al3+ incorporation offers a viable route to tune the microstructural properties of DyIG-based garnets for advanced applications.
