Single crystals of Nd 1− x Pb x MnO 3 with various dopant concentrations ( x=0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) are grown by high temperature solution growth technique using PbO–PbF 2 flux. Charge-to-flux ratio and PbO–PbF 2 composition are optimized to grow good quality crystals at lower temperature. When the PbO:PbF 2 ratio is close to the eutectic composition, crystal yield has improved. Powder X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the crystals exhibit tetragonal symmetry. Super-lattice structure obtained from transmission electron microscopic investigations suggests lattice doubling. Magnetization measurements show that the Curie temperature ( T C) increases with dopant concentration. A second transition observed below 30 K is probably due to ordering of the Nd 3+ ions. The magnetization does not saturate up to a field of 50 kOe at 20 K suggesting a non-collinear (canting) ordering of Nd-spins.
