Abstract
Nanostructured orthorhombic TbMnO 3 polycrystals were synthesized by high-energy ball milling and annealing in Ar or O 2 atmospheres. Oxygen annealed samples show shrunken unit cells in comparison with Ar annealed ones, without Mn valence changes in both cases. Magnetic and dielectric investigations show strong evidence of long-range (43 K) and quasi-long-range (9 K) ordering for Mn and Tb ions, respectively, and a noncollinear spin-spiral magnetic ordering of Mn spins, with higher magnetic response and ferroelectric state for argon synthesized samples.
