After the synthesis, we explore the various physicochemical properties of the sample with the help of various systematic characterization techniques. First, the prepared sample has been subjected to XRD for determining the crystal structure. Then, we confirm the functional groups of the sample with the help of FTIR. Further, we analyze the absorbance and the band gap with a UV-Vis spectrometer. Besides, we also investigate the microbial studies, namely, the anti-bacterial and the anti-fungal. Finally, we also analyze the response of human breast cancer cells when they are exposed to iron oxide (Fe2O3), erbium oxide (Er2O3), and a composite of erbium oxide/iron oxide (Er2O3/Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) with MDA MB 231 by MTT assay.
