Abstract
Multiferroic materials exhibit, in the same phase, several ferric properties such as ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and ferroelasticity, which are coupled each to other. In this work, we synthesized polycrystalline Tb1−xAlxMnO3 (x=0, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, and 0.3) by standard solid-state reaction. The starting precursors Tb4O7, MnO2, Al2O3 were stoichiometric mixed and calcined at 1200 °C for 12 hours in air atmosphere. The structural properties of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) in standard θ–2θ configuration. The broadening and displacement of the peaks in the XRD diffractograms suggests that the Al doping leads to a distortion of the Perovskite structure. Temperature- and field-dependent magnetic measurements show antiferromagnetic and weak ferromagnetic behavior of the undoped and Al-doped TbMnO3 samples, respectively.
