We also report a detailed study of their structural and optical properties. The selected area electron diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction studies of GdCrO3 nanoparticles show pure phase and excellent crystallinity with average particle size around 50-60 nm. The structural analysis indicates a distorted perovskite crystal structure with lattice parameter values of a = 5.3099 +/- A 0.0022</p>10ahydrothermal10aNanoparticles10aRare earth orthochromites1 aJaiswal, Adhish1 aDas, Raja1 aAdyanthaya, Suguna, D.1 aPoddar, Pankaj  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-and-optical-studies-gdcro3-nanoparticles-0
